[PATCH] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Add X9-14 Gen 1 to non-standard thermal/fan quirk tables
From: Huang Wei
Date: Wed Aug 26 2026 - 03:30:37 EST
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 uses a non-standard Embedded Controller
firmware (ECFW) whose thermal and fan registers are not located at the
classic addresses. On this model the thermal registers sit at 0xA8-0xAF /
0xB8-0xBF and the fan registers use the non-standard offsets, instead of
the legacy 0x78-0x7F / 0xC0-0xC7 (thermal) and 0x2f / 0x84 (fan).
Because the model is not covered by the existing quirk tables, the driver
probes the legacy thermal addresses during init, reads back 0x00 from
every register, concludes the EC is "misbehaving" and disables all
thermal sensor access:
thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI EC access misbehaving, disabling thermal
sensors access
Fan access is affected the same way, leaving fan1/fan2 reporting 0 RPM.
The infrastructure for these non-standard ECFW models is already in place
(commit 301c1904d638 ("platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix to correct wrong
temp reporting on some ThinkPads")); the X9-14 Gen 1 simply was not added
to the model lists yet. Add its BIOS model code N4D to both the thermal
and fan quirk tables so that:
- thermal_read_mode_check() selects TPACPI_THERMAL_TPEC_12 and reads
the 0xA8/0xB8 registers, and
- fan_init() selects the non-standard fan register addresses.
