[PATCH v1] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring

[Sergio Melas]

This driver provides fan speed monitoring for Lenovo Yoga, Legion, and
IdeaPad laptops by interfacing with the Embedded Controller (EC) via ACPI.

To address low-resolution sampling in Lenovo EC firmware, a Rate-Limited
Lag (RLLag) filter is implemented. The filter ensures a consistent physical
curve regardless of userspace polling frequency.

Hardware identification is performed via DMI-based quirk tables, which
map specific ACPI object paths and register widths (8-bit vs 16-bit)
deterministically.

v1:
  - Initial patch for the new driver series.
  - Prepared the unified Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) framework.
  - Implemented the dynamic Nmax/Rmax hybrid scaling engine logic for discrete ECs.
  - Added a WMI Coexistence Guard to automatically yield control WMI GUIDs are detected.
  - Added deterministic DMI quirk tables mapping explicit ACPI object paths.
  - Integrated 12-bit fixed-point RLLag filtering with 1500 RPM/s slew limiting.
  - Ensured 32-bit architecture compliance using div64_s64 for division.

+ * Filter Physics (RLLag) - Deterministic Telemetry
+ * ---------------------
+ * To address low-resolution tachometer sampling in the Embedded Controller,
+ * the driver implements a passive discrete-time first-order lag filter
+ * with slew-rate limiting (RLLag).
+ *
+ * The filter update equation is:
+ * RPM_state[t+1] = RPM_state[t] + Clamp(Alpha * (raw_RPM[t] - RPM_state[t]),
+ * -limit[t], limit[t])
+ * Where:
+ * Ts[t]    = Sys_time[t+1] - Sys_time[t]  (Time delta between reads)
+ * Alpha    = 1 - exp(-Ts[t] / Tau)        (Low-pass smoothing factor)
+ * limit[t] = Slew_Limit * Ts[t]           (Time-normalized slew limit)
+ *
+ * To avoid expensive floating-point exponential calculations in the kernel,
+ * we use a first-order Taylor/Bilinear approximation:
+ * Alpha = Ts / (Tau + Ts)
+ *
+ * Implementing this in the driver state machine:
+ * Ts             = current_time - last_sample_time
+ * Alpha          = Ts / (Tau + Ts)
+ * Physics Principles:
+ * step           = Alpha * (raw_RPM - RPM_old)
+ * limit          = Slew_Limit * Ts
+ * step_clamped   = clamp(step, -limit, limit)
+ * RPM_new        = RPM_old + step_clamped
+ *
+ * Attributes of the RLLag model:
+ * - Smoothing: Low-resolution step increments are smoothed into 1-RPM increments.
+ * - Slew-Rate Limiting: Capping change to ~1500 RPM/s to match physical inertia.
+ * - Polling Independence: Math scales based on Ts, ensuring a consistent physical
+ * curve regardless of userspace polling frequency.
+ * Fixed-point math (2^12) is used to maintain precision without floating-point
+ * overhead, ensuring jitter-free telemetry for thermal management.

[Severity: High]
Does combining the MIN_SAMPLING check into this auto-reset block create an
unintended bypass of the filter?

If an unprivileged user queries the fanX_input sysfs attribute faster than
MIN_SAMPLING (100ms), raw_dt_ms < MIN_SAMPLING evaluates to true.

Because this block sets data->last_sample[idx] = now, the time delta never
accumulates to exceed 100ms on continuous fast polling. This seems to snap
filtered_val to raw_rpm repeatedly, entirely defeating the filter's smoothing
logic.

[Severity: Medium]
Is IS_REACHABLE the correct macro to use here for the WMI coexistence guard?

If the driver is built-in (CONFIG_YOGAFAN=y) but ACPI WMI is built as a
module (CONFIG_ACPI_WMI=m), IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_ACPI_WMI) will evaluate to
false.

This silently compiles out the guard, which could lead to hardware race
conditions between this driver and the WMI driver once the module loads.

Would it be safer to use IS_ENABLED() alongside a Kconfig dependency like
depends on ACPI_WMI || ACPI_WMI=n?

Your patch is very obviously AI generated, and on top of that you did not
even look at its output.
- The patch description does not describe what the patch is actually doing
- The patch adds lots of unnecessary white-space changes
- The patch adds unnecessary include files (hwmon-sysfs.h)
- The patch adds non-standard tags such as "cite_start"
- Some of the changes are bogus (see Sashiko report)
- ... ok, I stopped there

I asked Google search: "What is cite_start about ?" and it tells me:

"The cite_start tag is a raw backend processing artifact that Gemini's AI model
  uses to track the origin of factual statements. When a frontend interface fails
  to properly render these into clickable hyperlinks or numbers, the raw text
  leaks into the final output.
"

Interesting. Then I started a session with Gemini 3.1 Pro and gave it the
following instructions:

"The patch in 'index.html' modifies a driver in the checked out Linux kernel.
  Analyze it, drop all white-space changes, split the patch into multiple patches
  following Linux kernel development guidelines (one logical change per patch),
  write appropriate patch descriptions, and apply the resulting patches to the
  checked out Linux kernel.
"

It splits the patch into 5 separate patches, each with appropriate description.
It didn't drop cite_start or the unnecessary additional include file (I didn't
ask it to _review_ the code, after all), but it was a start. I don't know what
model you are using, but I would suggest to start over and do something similar.
