<content type='text'>
On some platforms with ACPI4 variable speed fan, reading cur_state from
cooling device returns "invalid value" error. This confuses user space
applications.

This issue occurs as the current driver doesn't take account of
"FineGrainControl" from _FIF(Fan Information). When the "FineGrainControl"
is set, _FSL(FSL Set Level) takes argument as a percent, which doesn't
have to match from any control value from _FPS(Fan Performance States).
It is also possible that the Fan is not actually running at the requested
speed returning a lower speed.
On some platforms the BIOS is setting fan speed to a level during boot,
which will not have an exact match to _FPS control values. The current
implementation will treat this level as invalid value.

The simple change is to atleast return state corresponding to a maximum
control value in the _FPS compared to the current level.

On my laptop, I see "Setting initial power state" on boot.  It's a
firmware bug on my laptop, but the message made me think that the
initial power state was bogus and the driver fixed it.  The error
actually means that the driver failed to set the initial power
state.  Fix the message.

<title>ACPI / PM: Rework device power management to follow ACPI 6</title>

<id>20dacb71ad283b9506ee7e01286a424999fb8309</id>
<content type='text'>
The ACPI 6 specification has made some changes in the device power
management area.  In particular:

 * The D3hot power state is now supposed to be always available
   (instead of D3cold) and D3cold is only regarded as valid if the
   _PR3 object is present for the given device.

 * The required ordering of transitions into power states deeper than
   D0 is now such that for a transition into state Dx the _PSx method
   is supposed to be executed first, if present, and the states of
   the power resources the device depends on are supposed to be
   changed after that.

 * It is now explicitly forbidden to transition devices from
   lower-power (deeper) into higher-power (shallower) power states
   other than D0.

Those changes have been made so the specification reflects the
Windows' device power management code that the vast majority of
systems using ACPI is validated against.

To avoid artificial differences in ACPI device power management
between Windows and Linux, modify the ACPI device power management
code to follow the new specification.  Add comments explaining the
code flow in some unclear places.

This only may affect some real corner cases in which the OS behavior
expected by the firmware is different from the Windows one, but that's
quite unlikely.  The transition ordering change affects transitions
to D1 and D2 which are rarely used (if at all) and into D3hot and
D3cold for devices actually having _PR3, but those are likely to
be validated against Windows anyway.  The other changes may affect
code calling acpi_device_get_power() or acpi_device_update_power()
where ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT may be returned instead of ACPI_STATE_D3_COLD
(that's why the ACPI fan driver needs to be updated too) and since
transitions into ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT may remove power now, it is better
to avoid this one in acpi_pm_device_sleep_state() if the "no power
off" PM QoS flag is set.

The only existing user of acpi_device_can_poweroff() really cares
about the case when _PR3 is present, so the change in that function
should not cause any problems to happen too.

A plus is that PCI_D3hot can be mapped to ACPI_STATE_D3_HOT
now and the compatibility with older systems should be covered
automatically.

In any case, if any real problems result from this, it still will
be better to follow the Windows' behavior (which now is reflected
by the specification too) in general and handle the cases when it
doesn't work via quirks.

The _ART (Active Cooling Relationship Table), specifies relationship
among heat generating sources to a target active cooling device like
fan. The _ART table refers to actual bus id name for specifying relationship.
Naming "Fan" is not enough as name in the _ART table can change on every
platform, to establish relationship for user space thermal controllers.

Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
 "Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the
  last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested
  in linux-next tree for a few days.  Now the buggy patch has been
  dropped entirely from my next branch.  Thus I hope those changes can
  still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal
  driver changes.

  Specifics:

   - introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers.

     Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other
     devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the
     OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects.  Several drivers are
     introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling
     ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal
     framework.

     From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui.

   - introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to
     switch abruptly on/off a cooling device.  This governor can be used
     to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just
     switched on or off.  From: Peter Feuerer.

   - introduce support for some new thermal interrupt functions on
     i.MX6SX, in IMX thermal driver.  From: Anson, Huang.

   - introduce tracing support on thermal framework.  From: Punit
     Agrawal.

   - small fixes in OF thermal and thermal step_wise governor"

This patch adds support for ACPI 4.0 style fan, lacking part is: no
support for 'Low Speed Notification Support', 'Fine Grain Control' is
not used yet.

It's not clear what to do on suspend/resume callback for 4.0 style ACPI
fan, so it does nothing for now.
