I CCed three users who requested support for this feature. I would be
very happy if one of you could test those patches and report back.
Changes since v2:
- get rid of nested bit masks
Changes since v1:
- remove unnecessary blank line
Changes since RFC v2:
- improve error handling when setting fan behavior
- Add Reviewed-by tags
- whitelist PHN16-72
Changes since RFC v1:
- remove duplicate include and replace hwmon_pwm_mode with
hwmon_pwm_enable in second patch

Hello,
I've tested the patch on my PHN16-72, this time the fan control for CPU fan
works just fine, but GPU fan control doesn't work anymore. no logs observed on
dmesg while changing the speed of either fan.
Thanks,

It seems that i made a small error in WMID_gaming_set_fan_behavior(). I send a v4 patch series
with the necessary fix.
Thanks,
