Subject: [PATCH v2] hwmon: (dell-smm) Add Dell Precision 3650 Tower to fan control whitelist
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 08:09:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914080955.87925-1-patpep@me.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260913112925.11393-1-patpep@me.com>
On the Dell Precision 3650 Tower, the EC ignores fan speed writes unless
automatic BIOS fan control is disabled first. The I8K_FAN_30A3_31A3 SMM
code pair works on this machine through the WMI-SMM backend: after
writing 1 to pwm1_enable, all three fans (CPU, front, top) accept the
three fan states and report matching RPM, and writing 2 hands control
back to the BIOS. I8K_FAN_34A3_35A3 was tested as well and also works;
I8K_FAN_30A3_31A3 is used since it matches recent OEM software.
Tested on BIOS 1.48.0 with kernels 7.0.0-30 and 7.0.0-31 (Ubuntu 26.04).

v2: use I8K_FAN_30A3_31A3 instead of I8K_FAN_34A3_35A3 as suggested by
Armin Wolf (both pairs tested working on this machine). Pali's
Acked-by from v1 is not carried over because of this change.
