Markus Riechl came back to me with below mail. So This patch confirms fixes the bug. I will send v3 version of the patch. Earlier I was in delima about the bug. -Anand Moon ------------------------------------------- Hi Anand, I tested your patch. After booting the fan is spinning despite only 44?C. /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/curstate is 0. /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon4/pwm1 is 0 when I echo 1 > cur_state and then echo 0 > cur_state again, the fan switches to off and behaves as expected. It looks like there is a bug in initializing the pwm output immediately after booting.
