The fan curves used by the embedded controller can be configured.

Expose this through the standard hwmon sysfs ABI.

Only allow the curves to be made more aggressive than the current ones.

Hi,

i think it would be more practical for users to increase and later decrease the fan curve values.
Could the driver copy the original fan curve configuration and use that instead? This would also
require to restore the original fan curve during shutdown and removal.

Thanks,
Armin Wolf
