From 3a0a3995fd2179245ec9654ebda37323691903ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ahmed Yaseen Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 00:12:13 +0500 Subject: [PATCH] [FROM-ML] platform/x86: asus-armoury: gate PPT writes behind active fan curve On models flagged with requires_fan_curve in the DMI power_data table (30 entries), the BIOS ACPI method SPLX only writes PPT values to the EC when the fan mode is set to Manual (FANM=4). FANM is set to 4 by the DEFC method when a custom fan curve is written. Without an active custom fan curve, the WMI DEVS call returns success but the firmware silently ignores the PPT value, so userspace observes no effect from its write. Gate writes to ASUS_WMI_DEVID_PPT_{PL1_SPL,PL2_SPPT,PL3_FPPT,APU_SPPT, PLAT_SPPT} on a check of asus_wmi_custom_fan_curve_is_enabled(), and return -EBUSY with a pr_warn_once() when no fan curve is active on an affected model. Export the helper from asus-wmi so asus-armoury can call it across module boundaries.
