This patch exports standard hwmon pwmX_enable sysfs attribute for enabling or disabling automatic fan control by BIOS. Standard value "1" is for disabling automatic BIOS fan control and value "2" for enabling. By default BIOS auto mode is enabled by laptop firmware. When BIOS auto mode is enabled, custom fan speed value (set via hwmon pwmX sysfs attribute) is overwritten by SMM in few seconds and therefore any custom settings are without effect. So this is reason why implementing option for disabling BIOS auto mode is needed. So finally this patch allows kernel to set and control fan speed on laptops, but it can be dangerous (like setting speed of other fans). The SMM commands to enable or disable automatic fan control are not documented and are not the same on all Dell laptops. Therefore a whitelist is used to send the correct codes only on laptopts for which they are known. This patch was originally developed by Pali Rohár; later Giovanni Mascellani implemented the whitelist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
