I’m so sorry I’ve been in a mental health unit for the past month, are you still working on the driver I would love to test anything you provide me now

Oh my, i wish you all the best for recovery.

Can you compile the current -rc kernel with this patch series applied? If no then i can give you a .deb package containing the kernel and the
modified acer-wmi driver.

Thanks,
Armin Wolf

This experimental patch series aims to add fan control support to the
acer-wmi driver. The patches are compile-tested only and need to be
tested on real hardware to verify that they actually work.

I CCed two users who requested support for this feature. I would be
very happy if both of you could test those patches and report back.

I am ready to help you both with compiling a custom linux kernel for
testing this series.
Any updates from the two people with Acer hardware?

Thanks,
Armin Wolf

Changes since v2:
- remove duplicate include and replace hwmon_pwm_mode with
hwmon_pwm_enable in second patch
