Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: hp-wmi: Hide bogus fan RPM on HP ENVY x360 13-bd0xxx
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 10:50:17 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260329052049.22888-1-banibrata2007@gmail.com> (raw)
On the HP ENVY x360 Convertible 13-bd0xxx (board 8824), the WMI
interfaces for reading fan speed (HPWMI_FAN_SPEED_GET_QUERY) return
zero-filled buffers regardless of the actual fan speed.
This results in the hp_wmi driver exposing `fan1_input` and `fan2_input`
nodes through hwmon that permanently report "0 RPM", which is misleading
and interferes with userspace sensor monitoring tools.
Add a DMI quirk to disable exposing the hwmon fan nodes on this specific
board.
