[PATCH v5] hwmon: (pwm-fan): Default to the Maximum cooling level if provided

From: Peter Korsgaard
Date: Mon Jan 13 2025 - 08:51:43 EST


The pwm-fan driver uses full PWM (255) duty cycle at startup, which may not
always be desirable because of noise or power consumption peaks.

The driver optionally accept a list of "cooling-levels" for the thermal
subsystem. If provided, use the PWM value corresponding to the maximum
cooling level rather than the full level as the initial PWM setting.

Changes since v4:
- Dropped custom property, use highest cooling level

Changes since v3:
- Readded validation code from v2, reworded commit message

Changes since v2:
- Recreated/resent

Changes since v1:
- Rename property to default-pwm
- Drop u32 cast
