Hi,
This patch series is intended to:
* Introduce "manual mode" support (Patch 1 & 2), which is needed to control
the fan of a few new models.
* Add an appropriate thermal governor (Patch 3 & 4). Manipulating and
fiddling around with the step-wise governor has been a very fragile thing
in the past and as it broke again, I used the opportunity to add a two
point thermal governor which implements the actual fan handling required by
acerhdf and puts from my point of view things straight.
Can you please provide more groundings why step_wise is not working?
I had a look on bang bang proposal patch and to me, at a first glance,
step_wise should cover the target behavior. Of course, that also depend on the cooling device you attach to it.
Is it possible to report the problems you have with step_wise? This way
we could benefit the other users of it as well.

* Do some minor clean up like:
- adding second trip point for critical temperature (Patch 5)
- removing _t suffix from struct which isn't typedef and replace unsigned
char by u8 (Patch 6)
Thanks and kind regards,
peter
