Subject: [PATCH v2] hwmon: (dell-smm) Add Dell Pro Precision 7 16 PW716260 to fan control whitelist
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 17:27:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111172733.84217-1-shady.abh@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261111150435.75965-1-shady.abh@gmail.com>
On the Dell Pro Precision 7 16 PW716260 the firmware fan control
cannot be overridden using the default SMM method, writes to pwmX
are ignored and pwmX_enable returns -EINVAL. The firmware AC fan
policy also requests speeds below the minimum sustainable speed of
the fans, so one fan repeatedly stops and restarts every few
seconds at low load.
Add the machine to the fan control whitelist using the
I8K_FAN_30A3_31A3 SMM codes. With this, writing 1 to pwm1_enable
disables automatic fan control, the fans follow the requested
state (0: off, 1: ~2500 RPM, 2: ~3950 RPM), and writing 2 to
pwm1_enable restores automatic fan control.
Tested on BIOS 1.5.0 with kernel 7.2.15.
