[PATCH 0/4] hwmon: (dell-smm) Misc cleanups

[W_Armin]

From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

This patch series contains several small cleanups
for the dell-smm-hwmon driver.

While also improving the smm function debugging,
the only change noticable to userspace is
the 3rd patch.

All patches have been tested on a Dell Latitude C600.

Armin Wolf (4):
  hwmon: (dell-smm) Mark tables as __initconst
  hwmon: (dell-smm) Rework SMM function debugging
  hwmon: (dell-smm) Enable automatic fan speed control for all channels
  hwmon: (dell-smm) Mark i8k_get_fan_nominal_speed as __init

[PATCH 1/4] hwmon: (dell-smm) Mark tables as __initconst

[W_Armin]

From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

Both the config and the DMI tables never change and
are only used during module init for setting up
the device data struct.
Mark all of them as const and __initconst for a
smaller runtime memory footprint.

[PATCH 2/4] hwmon: (dell-smm) Rework SMM function debugging

[W_Armin]

From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

Use IS_ENABLED() instead of #ifdef and use ktime_us_delta()
for improved precision.

I think that new coding style for declaring variables is
"reverse christmas tree", longer line before shorted line.

But here, I'm not sure if initializing more variables with its default
values should be at one line...

Also I'm not sure if usage of __maybe_unused is better than hiding
variable behind #ifdef. #ifdef guards variable to not be used when it
should not be.

But I like this ktime_us_delta() as it fixed conversion from ns to us!
Current conversion is incorrect (>>10 is /1024; but it should be /1000).

I prefer reverse christmas tree because I think it looks nicer, but
I don't usually enforce it because I think it is at least somewhat POV.
One initialization per line makes sense, though.

As for __maybe_unused and IS_ENABLED(), it is better because it ensures
that the code compiles. Otherwise, especially with debug code like this,
there is always the danger that other changes cause compile errors
if the flag is enabled ... but that isn't found because the flag isn't
enabled.

There is a significant difference here, though: The "#ifdef DEBUG" is replaced
with "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG)". So a local DEBUG define is replaced with
a global one (CONFIG_DEBUG). But there is no "config DEBUG" in any Kconfig file.
So, no, that doesn't work. We can't have local CONFIG_xxx defines because that
might end up conflicting with Kconfig defines.

I would suggest to just drop the #ifdef. The added cost is marginal compared
to the cost of the bios calls, and it may be useful to be able to use debug
output without having to recompile the code.

Make sense. Drop #if DEBUG. pr_debug can be already enabled / disabled
and runtime measuring time is not problematic. Also these smm calls are
not too frequent and I guess that smm call itself (when CPU is in SMM
mode) is much more longer than time measurement around.

[PATCH 3/4] hwmon: (dell-smm) Enable automatic fan speed control for all channels

[W_Armin]

From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

Add automatic fan speed control for the remaining two pwm channels
since the pwmX_enable setting affects all pwm channels.

This behavior was already rejected by Guenter:

"Having three attributes do all the same is not very valuable.
I would suggest to stick with pwm1_enable and document that it applies
to all pwm channels."

Yes. In situations like this I normally I suggest to have one read-write
attribute and have the others as read-only. However, that doesn't work here
because the attribute is write-only. Having more than one really doesn't
add value.

[PATCH 4/4] hwmon: (dell-smm) Mark i8k_get_fan_nominal_speed as __init

[W_Armin]

From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@gmx.de>

Mark function i8k_get_fan_nominal_speed() as __init since
it is only used in code also marked as __init.
