Subject: [PATCH] hwmon: (gpio-fan) Remove un-necessary speed_index lookup for thermal hook
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 18:09:51 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1455926991-15189-1-git-send-email-nm@ti.com> (raw)

Thermal hook gpio_fan_get_cur_state is only interested in knowing
the current speed index that was setup in the system, this is
already available as part of fan_data->speed_index which is always
set by set_fan_speed. Using get_fan_speed_index is useful when we
have no idea about the fan speed configuration (for example during
fan_ctrl_init).

When thermal framework invokes
gpio_fan_get_cur_state=>get_fan_speed_index via gpio_fan_get_cur_state
especially in a polled configuration for thermal governor, we
basically hog the i2c interface to the extent that other functions
fail to get any traffic out :(.

Instead, just provide the last state set in the driver - since the gpio
fan driver is responsible for the fan state immaterial of override, the
fan_data->speed_index should accurately reflect the state.

Fixes: b5cf88e46bad ("(gpio-fan): Add thermal control hooks")
