[PATCH v6] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring

[PATCH v6] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring

[Sergio Melas]

This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo Yoga,
Legion, and IdeaPad laptops. It interfaces with the Embedded
Controller (EC) via ACPI to retrieve tachometer data.

To address low-resolution sampling in the Lenovo EC firmware, the
driver implements a Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag) filter using a passive
discrete-time first-order model. This ensures physical consistency
of the RPM signal regardless of userspace polling rates.

v6:
  - Unified patch structure (6 files changed).
  - Verified FOPTD (First-Order Plus Time Delay) model against hardware 
     traces (Yoga 14c) to ensure physical accuracy of the 1000ms time constant.
  - Fixed a rounding stall: added a +/- 1 RPM floor to the step calculation 
    to ensure convergence even at high polling frequencies.
  - Set MAX_SLEW_RPM_S to 1500 to match physical motor inertia.
  - Documentation: Updated to clarify 100-RPM hardware step resolution.
  - 32-bit safety: Implemented div64_s64 for coefficient precision.
v5:
  - Fixed 32-bit build failures by using div64_s64 for 64-bit division.
  - Extracted magic numbers into constants (RPM_UNIT_THRESHOLD, etc.).
  - Fixed filter stall by ensuring a minimum slew limit (limit = 1).
  - Refined RPM floor logic to trigger only when hardware reports 0 RPM.
  - Resolved 255/256 unit-jump bug by adjusting heuristic thresholds.
v4:
  - Rebased on groeck/hwmon-next branch for clean application.
  - Corrected alphabetical sorting in Kconfig and Makefile.
  - Technical Validation & FOPTD Verification:
  - Implemented RLLag (Rate-Limited Lag) first-order modeling.
  - Used 10-bit fixed-point math for alpha calculation to avoid
    floating point overhead in the kernel.
  - Added 5000ms filter reset for resume/long-polling sanitation.
v3:
  - Added MAINTAINERS entry and full Documentation/hwmon/yogafan.rst.
  - Fixed integer overflow in filter math.
  - Added support for secondary fan paths (FA2S) for Legion laptops.
v2:
  - Migrated from background worker to passive multirate filtering.
  - Implemented dt-based scaling to maximize CPU sleep states.
  - Restricted driver to Lenovo hardware via DMI matching.
v1:
  - Initial submission with basic ACPI fan path support.

+Kernel driver yogafan
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+  * Lenovo Yoga, Legion, and IdeaPad Embedded Controllers
+    Prefix: 'yogafan'
+    Addresses: ACPI handle (see probe list in driver)
+
+Author: Sergio Melas <sergiomelas@gmail.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo laptops.
+Most Lenovo laptops do not provide fan tachometer data through standard
+ISA/LPC hardware monitoring chips. Instead, the data is stored in the
+Embedded Controller (EC) and exposed via ACPI.
+
+The driver implements a **Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag)** filter to handle
+the low-resolution and jittery sampling found in Lenovo EC firmware.
+
+Filter Details:
+---------------
+
+The RLLag filter is a discrete-time first-order lag model that ensures:
+  - **Smoothing:** Jittery 1000-RPM step increments are smoothed into 1-RPM increments.
+  - **Slew-Rate Limiting:** Prevents "teleporting" readings by capping the change
+    to 1500 RPM/s, matching physical fan inertia.
+  - **Polling Independence:** The filter math scales based on the time delta
+    between userspace reads, ensuring the same physical curve regardless
+    of whether you poll at 1Hz or 1000Hz.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The driver exposes standard hwmon sysfs attributes:
+
+================  =============================================================
+Attribute         Description
+================  =============================================================
+fanX_input        Filtered fan speed in RPM.
+================  =============================================================
+
+Note: If the hardware reports 0 RPM, the filter is bypassed and 0 is reported
+immediately to ensure the user knows the fan has stopped.

One more:

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260324221008.212753-1-sergiomelas%40gmail.com

In short, there is no "MATH64" config symbol, and RPM_FLOOR_LIMIT is unused.

Thanks,
Guenter

[PATCH v7] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring

[Sergio Melas]

This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo Yoga,
Legion, and IdeaPad laptops. It interfaces with the Embedded
Controller (EC) via ACPI to retrieve tachometer data.

To address low-resolution sampling in the Lenovo EC firmware, the
driver implements a Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag) filter using a passive
discrete-time first-order model. This ensures physical consistency
of the RPM signal regardless of userspace polling rates.

v7:
  - Fixed Kconfig: Removed non-existent 'select MATH64'.
  - Fixed unused macro: Utilized RPM_FLOOR_LIMIT to implement an 
    immediate 0-RPM bypass in the filter.
  - Clarification: Previous "unified structure" comment meant that all 
    6 files (driver, docs, metadata) are now in this single atomic patch.
v6:
  - Unified patch structure (6 files changed).
  - Verified FOPTD (First-Order Plus Time Delay) model against hardware 
     traces (Yoga 14c) to ensure physical accuracy of the 1000ms time constant.
  - Fixed a rounding stall: added a +/- 1 RPM floor to the step calculation 
    to ensure convergence even at high polling frequencies.
  - Set MAX_SLEW_RPM_S to 1500 to match physical motor inertia.
  - Documentation: Updated to clarify 100-RPM hardware step resolution.
  - 32-bit safety: Implemented div64_s64 for coefficient precision.
v5:
  - Fixed 32-bit build failures by using div64_s64 for 64-bit division.
  - Extracted magic numbers into constants (RPM_UNIT_THRESHOLD, etc.).
  - Fixed filter stall by ensuring a minimum slew limit (limit = 1).
  - Refined RPM floor logic to trigger only when hardware reports 0 RPM.
  - Resolved 255/256 unit-jump bug by adjusting heuristic thresholds.
v4:
  - Rebased on groeck/hwmon-next branch for clean application.
  - Corrected alphabetical sorting in Kconfig and Makefile.
  - Technical Validation & FOPTD Verification:
    - Implemented RLLag (Rate-Limited Lag) first-order modeling.
    - Used 10-bit fixed-point math for alpha calculation to avoid
      floating point overhead in the kernel.
    - Added 5000ms filter reset for resume/long-polling sanitation.
v3:
  - Added MAINTAINERS entry and full Documentation/hwmon/yogafan.rst.
  - Fixed integer overflow in filter math.
  - Added support for secondary fan paths (FA2S) for Legion laptops.
v2:
  - Migrated from background worker to passive multirate filtering.
  - Implemented dt-based scaling to maximize CPU sleep states.
  - Restricted driver to Lenovo hardware via DMI matching.
v1:
  - Initial submission with basic ACPI fan path support.

+Kernel driver yogafan
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+  * Lenovo Yoga, Legion, and IdeaPad Embedded Controllers
+    Prefix: 'yogafan'
+    Addresses: ACPI handle (see probe list in driver)
+
+Author: Sergio Melas <sergiomelas@gmail.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo laptops.
+Most Lenovo laptops do not provide fan tachometer data through standard
+ISA/LPC hardware monitoring chips. Instead, the data is stored in the
+Embedded Controller (EC) and exposed via ACPI.
+
+The driver implements a **Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag)** filter to handle
+the low-resolution and jittery sampling found in Lenovo EC firmware.
+
+Filter Details:
+---------------
+
+The RLLag filter is a discrete-time first-order lag model that ensures:
+  - **Smoothing:** Jittery 1000-RPM step increments are smoothed into 1-RPM increments.
+  - **Slew-Rate Limiting:** Prevents "teleporting" readings by capping the change
+    to 1500 RPM/s, matching physical fan inertia.
+  - **Polling Independence:** The filter math scales based on the time delta
+    between userspace reads, ensuring the same physical curve regardless
+    of whether you poll at 1Hz or 1000Hz.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The driver exposes standard hwmon sysfs attributes:
+
+================  =============================================================
+Attribute         Description
+================  =============================================================
+fanX_input        Filtered fan speed in RPM.
+================  =============================================================
+
+Note: If the hardware reports 0 RPM, the filter is bypassed and 0 is reported
+immediately to ensure the user knows the fan has stopped.

The AI still has valid concerns.

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260325064358.533849-1-sergiomelas%40gmail.com

Specifically:

- The heuristic used to determine slow/fast speeds is really fragile.
   This refers both to using 500 RPM as cut-over point and to re-evaluating
   it whenever reading the fan speed. At the very least, after it has been
   determined that the RPM was once higher than the threshold, it seems
   unnecessary to ever look at it again and re-evaluate.
   It would be better if that could be made deterministic, for example by
   listing specific system models using one or the other, or even better
   finding some ACPI handle which contains information about the multiplication
   factor. Windows must handle this somehow, and I don't think they use
   the heuristics.
- The concern about behavior after suspend/resume is also valid.
   The best would be to implement suspend/resume support, but the suggested
   alternative might also help.
- I agree with the sentiment about the DMI match. Can the DMI match somehow
   be restricted further to a subset of Lenovo devices ?

Thanks,
Guenter

[PATCH v8] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring

[Sergio Melas]

This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo Yoga,
Legion, and IdeaPad laptops. It interfaces with the Embedded
Controller (EC) via ACPI to retrieve tachometer data.

To address low-resolution sampling in the Lenovo EC firmware, the
driver implements a Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag) filter using a passive
discrete-time first-order model. This ensures physical consistency
of the RPM signal regardless of userspace polling rates.

+Kernel driver yogafan
+=====================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+  * Lenovo Yoga, Legion, IdeaPad, Slim, Flex, and LOQ Embedded Controllers
+    Prefix: 'yogafan'
+    Addresses: ACPI handle (see probe list in driver)
+
+Author: Sergio Melas <sergiomelas@gmail.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo consumer laptops.
+Most Lenovo laptops do not provide fan tachometer data through standard
+ISA/LPC hardware monitoring chips. Instead, the data is stored in the
+Embedded Controller (EC) and exposed via ACPI.
+
+The driver implements a **Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag)** filter to handle
+the low-resolution and jittery sampling found in Lenovo EC firmware.
+
+Hardware Identification and Multiplier Logic
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The driver supports two distinct EC architectures. Differentiation is handled
+deterministically via a DMI Product Family quirk table during the probe phase,
+eliminating the need for runtime heuristics.
+
+1. 8-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 100)
+   - **Families:** Yoga, IdeaPad, Slim, Flex.
+   - **Technical Detail:** These models allocate a single 8-bit register for
+     tachometer data. Since 8-bit fields are limited to a value of 255, the
+     BIOS stores fan speed in units of 100 RPM (e.g., 42 = 4200 RPM).
+
+2. 16-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 1)
+   - **Families:** Legion, LOQ.
+   - **Technical Detail:** High-performance gaming models require greater
+     precision for fans exceeding 6000 RPM. These use a 16-bit word (2 bytes)
+     storing the raw RPM value directly.
+
+Filter Details:
+---------------
+
+The RLLag filter is a passive discrete-time first-order lag model that ensures:
+  - **Smoothing:** Low-resolution step increments are smoothed into 1-RPM increments.
+  - **Slew-Rate Limiting:** Prevents unrealistic readings by capping the change
+    to 1500 RPM/s, matching physical fan inertia.
+  - **Polling Independence:** The filter math scales based on the time delta
+    between userspace reads, ensuring a consistent physical curve regardless
+    of polling frequency.
+
+Suspend and Resume
+------------------
+
+The driver utilizes the boottime clock (ktime_get_boottime()) to calculate the
+sampling delta. This ensures that time spent in system suspend is accounted
+for. If the delta exceeds 5 seconds (e.g., after waking the laptop), the
+filter automatically resets to the current hardware value to prevent
+reporting "ghost" RPM data from before the sleep state.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The driver exposes standard hwmon sysfs attributes:
+
+================  =============================================================
+Attribute         Description
+================  =============================================================
+fanX_input        Filtered fan speed in RPM.
+================  =============================================================
+
+Note: If the hardware reports 0 RPM, the filter is bypassed and 0 is reported
+immediately to ensure the user knows the fan has stopped.

Thanks a lot for the quick turnaround.

We are down to optimizations. Please take a look.

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260325220624.102847-1-sergiomelas%40gmail.com

Both suggestions make sense to me.

Thanks,

> +Description
> +-----------
> +
> +This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo consumer laptops.
> +Most Lenovo laptops do not provide fan tachometer data through standard
> +ISA/LPC hardware monitoring chips. Instead, the data is stored in the
> +Embedded Controller (EC) and exposed via ACPI.
> +
> +The driver implements a **Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag)** filter to handle

> +
> +Hardware Identification and Multiplier Logic
> +--------------------------------------------
> +
> +The driver supports two distinct EC architectures. Differentiation is handled
> +deterministically via a DMI Product Family quirk table during the probe phase,
> +eliminating the need for runtime heuristics.
> +
> +1. 8-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 100)
> +   - **Families:** Yoga, IdeaPad, Slim, Flex.
> +   - **Technical Detail:** These models allocate a single 8-bit register for
> +     tachometer data. Since 8-bit fields are limited to a value of 255, the
> +     BIOS stores fan speed in units of 100 RPM (e.g., 42 = 4200 RPM).
> +
> +2. 16-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 1)
> +   - **Families:** Legion, LOQ.
> +   - **Technical Detail:** High-performance gaming models require greater
> +     precision for fans exceeding 6000 RPM. These use a 16-bit word (2 bytes)
> +     storing the raw RPM value directly.
> +
> +Filter Details:
> +---------------
> +
> +The RLLag filter is a passive discrete-time first-order lag model that ensures:
> +  - **Smoothing:** Low-resolution step increments are smoothed into 1-RPM increments.
> +  - **Slew-Rate Limiting:** Prevents unrealistic readings by capping the change
> +    to 1500 RPM/s, matching physical fan inertia.
> +  - **Polling Independence:** The filter math scales based on the time delta
> +    between userspace reads, ensuring a consistent physical curve regardless
> +    of polling frequency.
> +
> +Suspend and Resume
> +------------------
> +
> +The driver utilizes the boottime clock (ktime_get_boottime()) to calculate the
> +sampling delta. This ensures that time spent in system suspend is accounted
> +for. If the delta exceeds 5 seconds (e.g., after waking the laptop), the
> +filter automatically resets to the current hardware value to prevent
> +reporting "ghost" RPM data from before the sleep state.
> +

[PATCH v9] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring

[Sergio Melas]

To address low-resolution sampling in the Lenovo EC firmware, the
driver implements a Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag) filter using a passive
discrete-time first-order model. This ensures physical consistency
of the RPM signal regardless of userspace polling rates.

Concerning youd doubt:
Sorry, you lost me a bit. Isn't that already implemented in v8 ?

V8 had the logic, but V9 adds the extensive database and documentation
(see yogafan.rst) to guarantee all ACPI paths and 8/16-bit multipliers
are correctly mapped

Signed-off-by: Sergio Melas <sergiomelas@gmail.com>

---
v9:
  - Implement ACPI handle resolution during probe for better performance (O(1) read).
  - Add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, ...) to enable module autoloading.
  - Refine RLLag filter documentation and suspend/resume logic.
  - Include comprehensive EC architecture research database (8-bit vs 16-bit).
  - Validated efficiency on kernels 6.18, 6.19, and 7.0-rc5: 'perf top' 
    confirms negligible CPU overhead (<0.01%) during active polling.
v8:
  - Replaced heuristic multiplier with deterministic DMI Quirk Table.
  - Added 'depends on DMI' to Kconfig.
  - Verified FOPTD model (1000ms TAU / 1500 RPM/s slew) against hardware traces.
  - Increased filter precision to 12-bit fixed-point.
v7:
  - Fixed Kconfig: Removed non-existent 'select MATH64'.
  - Fixed unused macro: Utilized RPM_FLOOR_LIMIT to implement an
    immediate 0-RPM bypass in the filter.
  - Clarification: Previous "unified structure" comment meant that all
    6 files (driver, docs, metadata) are now in this single atomic patch.
v6:
  - Unified patch structure (6 files changed).
  - Verified FOPTD (First-Order Plus Time Delay) model against hardware
     traces (Yoga 14c) to ensure physical accuracy of the 1000ms time constant.
  - Fixed a rounding stall: added a +/- 1 RPM floor to the step calculation
    to ensure convergence even at high polling frequencies.
  - Set MAX_SLEW_RPM_S to 1500 to match physical motor inertia.
  - Documentation: Updated to clarify 100-RPM hardware step resolution.
  - 32-bit safety: Implemented div64_s64 for coefficient precision.
v5:
  - Fixed 32-bit build failures by using div64_s64 for 64-bit division.
  - Extracted magic numbers into constants (RPM_UNIT_THRESHOLD, etc.).
  - Fixed filter stall by ensuring a minimum slew limit (limit = 1).
  - Refined RPM floor logic to trigger only when hardware reports 0 RPM.
  - Resolved 255/256 unit-jump bug by adjusting heuristic thresholds.
v4:
  - Rebased on groeck/hwmon-next branch for clean application.
  - Corrected alphabetical sorting in Kconfig and Makefile.
  - Technical Validation & FOPTD Verification:
    - Implemented RLLag (Rate-Limited Lag) first-order modeling.
    - Used 10-bit fixed-point math for alpha calculation to avoid
      floating point overhead in the kernel.
    - Added 5000ms filter reset for resume/long-polling sanitation.
v3:
  - Added MAINTAINERS entry and full Documentation/hwmon/yogafan.rst.
  - Fixed integer overflow in filter math.
  - Added support for secondary fan paths (FA2S) for Legion laptops.
v2:
  - Migrated from background worker to passive multirate filtering.
  - Implemented dt-based scaling to maximize CPU sleep states.
  - Restricted driver to Lenovo hardware via DMI matching.
v1:
  - Initial submission with basic ACPI fan path support.

+Kernel driver yogafan
+===============================================================================================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+  * Lenovo Yoga, Legion, IdeaPad, Slim, Flex, and LOQ Embedded Controllers
+    Prefix: 'yogafan'
+    Addresses: ACPI handle (See Database Below)
+
+Author: Sergio Melas <sergiomelas@gmail.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo consumer laptops.
+Most Lenovo laptops do not provide fan tachometer data through standard
+ISA/LPC hardware monitoring chips. Instead, the data is stored in the
+Embedded Controller (EC) and exposed via ACPI.
+
+The driver implements a **Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag)** filter to handle
+the low-resolution and jittery sampling found in Lenovo EC firmware.
+
+Hardware Identification and Multiplier Logic
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The driver supports two distinct EC architectures. Differentiation is handled
+deterministically via a DMI Product Family quirk table during the probe phase,
+eliminating the need for runtime heuristics.
+
+1. 8-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 100)
+   - **Families:** Yoga, IdeaPad, Slim, Flex.
+   - **Technical Detail:** These models allocate a single 8-bit register for
+     tachometer data. Since 8-bit fields are limited to a value of 255, the
+     BIOS stores fan speed in units of 100 RPM (e.g., 42 = 4200 RPM).
+
+2. 16-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 1)
+   - **Families:** Legion, LOQ.
+   - **Technical Detail:** High-performance gaming models require greater
+     precision for fans exceeding 6000 RPM. These use a 16-bit word (2 bytes)
+     storing the raw RPM value directly.
+
+Filter Details:
+---------------
+
+The RLLag filter is a passive discrete-time first-order lag model that ensures:
+  - **Smoothing:** Low-resolution step increments are smoothed into 1-RPM increments.
+  - **Slew-Rate Limiting:** Prevents unrealistic readings by capping the change
+    to 1500 RPM/s, matching physical fan inertia.
+  - **Polling Independence:** The filter math scales based on the time delta
+    between userspace reads, ensuring a consistent physical curve regardless
+    of polling frequency.
+
+Suspend and Resume
+------------------
+
+The driver utilizes the boottime clock (ktime_get_boottime()) to calculate the
+sampling delta. This ensures that time spent in system suspend is accounted
+for. If the delta exceeds 5 seconds (e.g., after waking the laptop), the
+filter automatically resets to the current hardware value to prevent
+reporting "ghost" RPM data from before the sleep state.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The driver exposes standard hwmon sysfs attributes:
+Attribute         Description
+fanX_input        Filtered fan speed in RPM.
+
+
+Note: If the hardware reports 0 RPM, the filter is bypassed and 0 is reported
+immediately to ensure the user knows the fan has stopped.

+METHODOLOGY & IDENTIFICATION:
+
+1. DSDT ANALYSIS (THE PATH):
+   BIOS ACPI tables were analyzed using 'iasl' and cross-referenced with
+   public dumps. Internal labels (FANS, FAN0, FA2S) are mapped to
+   EmbeddedControl OperationRegion offsets.
+
+2. EC MEMORY MAPPING (THE OFFSET):
+   Validated by matching NBFC (NoteBook FanControl) XML logic with DSDT Field
+   definitions found in BIOS firmware.
+
+3. DATA-WIDTH ANALYSIS (THE MULTIPLIER):
+   - 8-bit (Multiplier 100): Standard for Yoga/IdeaPad. Raw values (0-255).
+   - 16-bit (Multiplier 1): Standard for Legion/LOQ. Two registers (0xFE/0xFF).

[PATCH v10] hwmon: (yogafan) Add support for Lenovo Yoga/Legion fan monitoring

[Sergio Melas]

To address low-resolution sampling in the Lenovo EC firmware, the
driver implements a Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag) filter using a passive
discrete-time first-order model. This ensures physical consistency
of the RPM signal regardless of userspace polling rates.

Concerning youd doubt:
Sorry, you lost me a bit. Isn't that already implemented in v8 ?

V8 had the logic, but V9 adds the extensive database and documentation
(see yogafan.rst) to guarantee all ACPI paths and 8/16-bit multipliers
are correctly mapped.

Please disregard the previous v9 submission. It was incorrectly formatted
as an incremental diff; this version (v9/v10) is a complete standalone 
patch for clean application.

+Kernel driver yogafan
+===============================================================================================
+
+Supported chips:
+
+  * Lenovo Yoga, Legion, IdeaPad, Slim, Flex, and LOQ Embedded Controllers
+    Prefix: 'yogafan'
+    Addresses: ACPI handle (See Database Below)
+
+Author: Sergio Melas <sergiomelas@gmail.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver provides fan speed monitoring for modern Lenovo consumer laptops.
+Most Lenovo laptops do not provide fan tachometer data through standard
+ISA/LPC hardware monitoring chips. Instead, the data is stored in the
+Embedded Controller (EC) and exposed via ACPI.
+
+The driver implements a **Rate-Limited Lag (RLLag)** filter to handle
+the low-resolution and jittery sampling found in Lenovo EC firmware.
+
+Hardware Identification and Multiplier Logic
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The driver supports two distinct EC architectures. Differentiation is handled
+deterministically via a DMI Product Family quirk table during the probe phase,
+eliminating the need for runtime heuristics.
+
+1. 8-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 100)
+   - **Families:** Yoga, IdeaPad, Slim, Flex.
+   - **Technical Detail:** These models allocate a single 8-bit register for
+     tachometer data. Since 8-bit fields are limited to a value of 255, the
+     BIOS stores fan speed in units of 100 RPM (e.g., 42 = 4200 RPM).
+
+2. 16-bit EC Architecture (Multiplier: 1)
+   - **Families:** Legion, LOQ.
+   - **Technical Detail:** High-performance gaming models require greater
+     precision for fans exceeding 6000 RPM. These use a 16-bit word (2 bytes)
+     storing the raw RPM value directly.
+
+Filter Details:
+---------------
+
+The RLLag filter is a passive discrete-time first-order lag model that ensures:
+  - **Smoothing:** Low-resolution step increments are smoothed into 1-RPM increments.
+  - **Slew-Rate Limiting:** Prevents unrealistic readings by capping the change
+    to 1500 RPM/s, matching physical fan inertia.
+  - **Polling Independence:** The filter math scales based on the time delta
+    between userspace reads, ensuring a consistent physical curve regardless
+    of polling frequency.
+
+Suspend and Resume
+------------------
+
+The driver utilizes the boottime clock (ktime_get_boottime()) to calculate the
+sampling delta. This ensures that time spent in system suspend is accounted
+for. If the delta exceeds 5 seconds (e.g., after waking the laptop), the
+filter automatically resets to the current hardware value to prevent
+reporting "ghost" RPM data from before the sleep state.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The driver exposes standard hwmon sysfs attributes:
+Attribute         Description
+fanX_input        Filtered fan speed in RPM.
+
+
+Note: If the hardware reports 0 RPM, the filter is bypassed and 0 is reported
+immediately to ensure the user knows the fan has stopped.

+METHODOLOGY & IDENTIFICATION:
+
+1. DSDT ANALYSIS (THE PATH):
+   BIOS ACPI tables were analyzed using 'iasl' and cross-referenced with
+   public dumps. Internal labels (FANS, FAN0, FA2S) are mapped to
+   EmbeddedControl OperationRegion offsets.
+
+2. EC MEMORY MAPPING (THE OFFSET):
+   Validated by matching NBFC (NoteBook FanControl) XML logic with DSDT Field
+   definitions found in BIOS firmware.
+
+3. DATA-WIDTH ANALYSIS (THE MULTIPLIER):
+   - 8-bit (Multiplier 100): Standard for Yoga/IdeaPad. Raw values (0-255).
+   - 16-bit (Multiplier 1): Standard for Legion/LOQ. Two registers (0xFE/0xFF).

Sashiko still has a concern associated with rapid polling:

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260327012925.266336-1-sergiomelas%40gmail.com

... and it turns out that you did not run checkpatch, much less checkpatch --strict,
on your patch.

total: 2 errors, 6 warnings, 3 checks, 453 lines checked

For the filter, it might make sense to only run it after some period of time.

Couple of additional comments (first actual human review) inline, mostly
about formatting.

Thanks,
Guenter

You could say here "Use ktime_get_boottime() instead of ktime_get() for
for Suspend/Resume safety", which would make it a valuable comment.

Unecessary comment. That is implied for each MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE in the system.

I don't think this is needed / used anywhere.

I didn't realize, but the above is really not an appropriate patch description.
Please follow Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst for a more
appropriate description.

Also, I noticed that you send new versions of your patch as reply to previous
versions. Please don't do that. Again, please see the guidelines for submitting
patches.

I think 0-day complains because the length of the underline string does not match
the length of the description.

Since this is known based on the model,

Is this table even necessary ? It should be possible to identify the supported ACPI
object path(s) from the DMI table entry.
