Previous message: Derek John Clark: "Re: [PATCH v3] Add support for the AYANEO AIR and AYANEO AIR Pro models of handheld devices. These devices use the same EC registers and logic as the One X Player mini AMD. Previous AYANEO models are not supported as they use a different EC and do not have the necessary fan speed write enable and setting registers. The driver is tested on AYANEO AIR while AIR Pro model EC functionality and DMI data were verified using command line tools by another user."
