Subject: [PATCH 1/4] platform/x86: hp-wmi: fix fan table parsing
Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 16:47:45 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260401111748.106970-2-krishna.chomal108@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260401111748.106970-1-krishna.chomal108@gmail.com>
For Victus S devices, the BIOS fan table header was being incorrectly
parsed as:
struct {
u8 unknown;
u8 num_entries;
}
The first field should be num_fans and the second should be unknown. It
is pure coincidence that interpreting an "unknown" field as "num_entries"
worked on multiple device, however for board 8D87 (in an upcoming patch),
this assumption fails, and the hp-wmi driver fails to load.
We fix this by correcting the header definition and compensating for
num_entries by parsing each entry of the fan table until an all-NULL row
is obtained, mirroring the behavior of OMEN Gaming Hub on Windows.
Fixes: 46be1453e6e6 ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: add manual fan control for Victus S models")
