[PATCH 1/4] platform/x86: hp-wmi: fix fan table parsing
From: Krishna Chomal
Date: Wed Apr 01 2026 - 07:23:46 EST
For Victus S devices, the BIOS fan table header was being incorrectly
parsed as:
struct {
u8 unknown;
u8 num_entries;
}
The first field should be num_fans and the second should be unknown. It
is pure coincidence that interpreting an "unknown" field as "num_entries"
worked on multiple device, however for board 8D87 (in an upcoming patch),
this assumption fails, and the hp-wmi driver fails to load.
We fix this by correcting the header definition and compensating for
num_entries by parsing each entry of the fan table until an all-NULL row
is obtained, mirroring the behavior of OMEN Gaming Hub on Windows.
Fixes: 46be1453e6e6 ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: add manual fan control for Victus S models")
