platform/x86: asus-wmi: Add support for custom fan curves
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add support for custom fan curves found on some ASUS ROG laptops.

These laptops have the ability to set a custom curve for the CPU
and GPU fans via two ACPI methods.

This patch adds two pwm<N> attributes to the hwmon sysfs,
pwm1 for CPU fan, pwm2 for GPU fan. Both are under the hwmon of the
name `asus_custom_fan_curve`. There is no safety check of the set
fan curves - this must be done in userspace.

The fans have settings [1,2,3] under pwm<N>_enable:
1. Enable and write settings out
2. Disable and use factory fan mode
3. Same as 2, additionally restoring default factory curve.

Use of 2 means that the curve the user has set is still stored and
won't be erased, but the laptop will be using its default auto-fan
mode. Re-enabling the manual mode then activates the curves again.

Notes:
- pwm<N>_enable = 0 is an invalid setting.
- pwm is actually a percentage and is scaled on writing to device.
