Re: [PATCH] Acer Aspire One Fan Control

From: Peter Feuerer
Date: Sat Apr 25 2009 - 04:48:56 EST


Sorry, forgot to modify the Maintainers. Here is the new patch with Maintainers entry.

The patch is compiled and tested against current git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git checkout.

What do you think? Do you have any questions?

kind regards,
--peter


Acerhdf is a driver for Acer Aspire One netbooks. It allows to access
the temperature sensor and to control the fan.

+ The driver is started in "user" mode where the Bios takes care about

+ *
+ * 06-February-2009: Version 0.1:
+ * - first relase, containing absolutely no bugs! ;)
+ *
+ * 06-February-2009: Version 0.1.1:
+ * - found first bug :-) - it didn't check the bios vendor
+ * - check if the bios vendor is Acer
+ * - added bios 3301
+ *
+ * 06-February-2009: Version 0.1.2:
+ * - added fork for deamon mode, now a real daemon is spawned
+ * - added device vendor "INSYDE"
+ *
+ * 13-February-2009: Version 0.2:
+ * - ported to kernelspace
+ *
+ * 19-February-2009: Version 0.2.1:
+ * - added Bios Version 3308
+ * - cleaned up the includes
+ *
+ * 21-February-2009: Version 0.2.2:
+ * - changed settings for Bios 3309 as old settings caused lock ups
+ * - thanks to Frank Reimann
+ *
+ * 21-February-2009: Version 0.2.2-2:
+ * - added linux/sched.h to includes again, as it won't compile for
+ * kernel < 2.6.28 without it.
+ *
+ * 23-February-2009: Version 0.3:
+ * - tied to termal layer
+ * - added parameters to /sys/modules/acerhdf/parameters/
+ *
+ * 25-February-2009: Version 0.3.1:
+ * - fixed starting the module in user mode when force_bios param
+ * is given
+ *
+ * 28-February-2009: Version 0.3.2:
+ * - changed coding style to fit the coding style of the kernel
+ * and checked it via checkpatch
+ *
+ * 24-March-2009: Version 0.4.0:
+ * - added MODULE_ALIAS macro
+ * - added Gateway and Packard Bell Bios
+ * - added suspend / resume functionality
+ *
+ * 25-March-2009: Version 0.4.1:
+ * - coding style
+ * - minor bugfixes
+ *
+ * 26-March-2009: Version 0.4.2:
+ * - replaced kernel threads by kthread api
+ *
+ * 25-April-2009: Version 0.5:
+ * - ported to 2.6.30
+ * - removed kthread and used polling of thermal api
