Subject: [PATCH 2/2] platform/x86: hp-wmi: Expose independent CPU/GPU pwm channels
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 12:39:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513193916.84673-3-dweikmferris@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260513193916.84673-1-dweikmferris@gmail.com>
The Victus-S WMI fan-speed-set query (HPWMI_VICTUS_S_FAN_SPEED_SET_QUERY,
GM2E in firmware) takes a two-byte buffer [cpu, gpu] and writes the
values to EC SRP1/SRP2 setpoints independently. The driver however drove
both fans from a single hwmon pwm1 attribute, with the GPU value
derived as cpu + priv->gpu_delta from the fan table. This makes
asymmetric fan curves (common ask: GPU fan louder than CPU under
heavy gaming load) impossible from userspace fan-control tools that
expect one pwm attribute per fan.
Promote priv->pwm to a two-element array, add a second pwm hwmon
channel, and extend hp_wmi_hwmon_write() / hp_wmi_apply_fan_settings()
to drive the per-channel setpoints through GM2E.
The U8_MAX sentinel in hp_wmi_fan_speed_set() selects the new
per-fan path; existing callers using HP_FAN_SPEED_AUTOMATIC or a
direct rpm value keep their behavior. The second pwm channel is only
visible on Victus-S-capable boards, since other HP laptops still use
the legacy single-fan WMI commands.
Tested on OMEN by HP Laptop 16-b1xxx (8A13): writing pwm1=60, pwm2=200
in manual mode drives CPU fan to ~1600 RPM and GPU fan to ~5700 RPM
simultaneously, verified via fan1_input/fan2_input tachs and direct
read of EC offsets 0xB0..0xB3.
