[PATCH 5/5] sonypi: add fan and temperature status/control

From: Stelian Pop
Date: Thu Feb 10 2005 - 10:54:55 EST


===================================================================

1. FAN Status/Control: you can now get the fan status (running or not) and
also set the fan speed (for <5 seconds only). The problem is that there
is an auto regulator that kicks in within about 5 seconds after that to
restart the fan if it is above a threshold temperature (39 Degree C in
my Vaio). It is useful just to get the fan status (primarily). It also
appears that you can change the speed by increasing the values (much
like the LCD control) - there are effectively only about 6 speeds (it
seems - not sure, but from what I've played with on my Vaio).

2. Temperature: you can get the current temperature (same as reported by
ACPI). This is primarily useful for APM users (since ACPI already gives
this). I have used this to detect when the fan comes on in my Vaio (39
Degree C).
