Subject: [PATCH v12] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 20:42:06 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803184206.18465-1-sergiomelas@gmail.com> (raw)
This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo consumer
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. This patch introduces specific quirks for the Lenovo
LOQ 15IAX9, IdeaPad 3 15ALC6, Legion Pro 7 16AFR10H, Yoga Pro 7 14IAH10,
and Yoga 7 16ARP8.

v12:
- Reordered yogafan_quirks table so exact model matches are evaluated
before generic family fallbacks, preventing DMI shadowing.
- Added support and proper DMI/ACPI mappings for Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9,
IdeaPad 3 15ALC6, Legion Pro 7 16AFR10H, Yoga Pro 7 14IAH10, and
Yoga 7 16ARP8 (with thanks to community DSDT contributors).
- Updated Documentation/hwmon/yogafan.rst reference database and credits.
v11.1:
- Fixed Documentation formatting (0-day robot warnings).
- Fixed yogafan.c header comment
v11:
- Mapped ACPI paths directly via DMI quirks.
- Fixed Documentation formatting (0-day robot warnings).
- Implemented 100ms MIN_SAMPLING to address rapid polling concerns.
- Removed redundant platform_set_drvdata() in probe.
- Explicitly defined platform device ID as -1 for cleaner sysfs naming.
v9/10:
- Implement ACPI handle resolution during probe for better performance (O(1) read).
- Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, ...) to enable module autoloading.
- Refine RLLag filter documentation and suspend/resume logic.
- Include comprehensive EC architecture research database (8-bit vs 16-bit).
- Validated efficiency on kernels 6.18, 6.19, and 7.0-rc5: 'perf top'
confirms negligible CPU overhead (<0.01%) during active polling.
v8:
- Replaced heuristic multiplier with deterministic DMI Quirk Table.
- Added 'depends on DMI' to Kconfig.
- Verified FOPTD model (1000ms TAU / 1500 RPM/s slew) against hardware traces.
- Increased filter precision to 12-bit fixed-point.
v7:
- Fixed Kconfig: Removed non-existent 'select MATH64'.
- Fixed unused macro: Utilized RPM_FLOOR_LIMIT to implement an
immediate 0-RPM bypass in the filter.
- Clarification: Previous "unified structure" comment meant that all
6 files (driver, docs, metadata) are now in this single atomic patch.
v6:
- Unified patch structure (6 files changed).
- Verified FOPTD (First-Order Plus Time Delay) model against hardware
traces (Yoga 14c) to ensure physical accuracy of the 1000ms time constant.
- Fixed a rounding stall: added a +/- 1 RPM floor to the step calculation
to ensure convergence even at high polling frequencies.
- Set MAX_SLEW_RPM_S to 1500 to match physical motor inertia.
- Documentation: Updated to clarify 100-RPM hardware step resolution.
- 32-bit safety: Implemented div64_s64 for coefficient precision.
v5:
- Fixed 32-bit build failures by using div64_s64 for 64-bit division.
- Extracted magic numbers into constants (RPM_UNIT_THRESHOLD, etc.).
- Fixed filter stall by ensuring a minimum slew limit (limit = 1).
- Refined RPM floor logic to trigger only when hardware reports 0 RPM.
- Resolved 255/256 unit-jump bug by adjusting heuristic thresholds.
v4:
- Rebased on groeck/hwmon-next branch for clean application.
- Corrected alphabetical sorting in Kconfig and Makefile.
- Technical Validation & FOPTD Verification:
- Implemented RLLag (Rate-Limited Lag) first-order modeling.
- Used 10-bit fixed-point math for alpha calculation to avoid
floating point overhead in the kernel.
- Added 5000ms filter reset for resume/long-polling sanitation.
v3:
- Added MAINTAINERS entry and full Documentation/hwmon/yogafan.rst.
- Fixed integer overflow in filter math.
- Added support for secondary fan paths (FA2S) for Legion laptops.
v2:
- Migrated from background worker to passive multirate filtering.
- Implemented dt-based scaling to maximize CPU sleep states.
- Restricted driver to Lenovo hardware via DMI matching.
v1:
- Initial submission with basic ACPI fan path support.
