There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v4 2/2] hwmon: add fan speed monitoring driver for Surface devices
Posted by Ivor Wanders 1 year, 10 months ago 
Adds a driver that provides read only access to the fan speed for Microsoft
Surface Pro devices. The fan speed is always regulated by the EC and cannot
be influenced directly.

Changes in v4:
  - Return 0 from surface_fan_hwmon_read instead of ret.
  - Use PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO in probe instead of if statement.
Changes in v3:
  - Removed type and attr checks in read and is_visible.
  - Removed assigning sdev to ssam_device drvdata.
  - Propagate return from __ssam_fan_rpm_get.
  - Renamed hwmon chip name from 'fan' to 'surface_fan'.
  - Removed unnecessary platform_device header.
Changes in v2:
  - Removed all sysfs attributes except fan1_input. Simplified code
    and updated documentation accordingly.

I just noticed this. There is no SENSORS_SMM665 in the upstream kernel.
That driver was removed in v6.7. What is your baseline ? It doesn't even
seem to be based on a mainline kernel. When I try to apply the patch,
it fails completely.

Applying: hwmon: add fan speed monitoring driver for Surface devices
error: sha1 information is lacking or useless (MAINTAINERS).
error: could not build fake ancestor
Patch failed at 0001 hwmon: add fan speed monitoring driver for Surface devices

Please base your patches on the latest mainline kernel.

Thanks,
Guenter

Hello Guenter,

> What is your baseline? It doesn't even seem to be based on a mainline kernel.
Ah, yes, this is from the linux-surface kernel tree, which is still on v6.6.

> Please base your patches on the latest mainline kernel.
Will rebase this and send v5 shortly.
