This is looking good, the kernel-buildbot (which finally has managed
to build the patch now that the indents are fixed) found one last
small thing to fix.

And while looking at that I also found one last small thing to
improve, see my comments inline / below.

So we will need one more version and then this should be ready to
get merged.

As the buildbot pointed out these should be initialized to 0.

From here...

Till here...

The code is identical as the code from here...

Till here. With the exception of the value being or-ed into gpu_fan_config1, being 1 in the
"// set FAN mode to auto" case and 2 in the "// set FAN to turbo mode" mode case.

Please add a new helper for this like this:

void WMID_gaming_set_fan_mode(u8 value)
{
	u64 gpu_fan_config1 = 0, gpu_fan_config2 = 0;
	int i;

	if (quirks->cpu_fans > 0)
		gpu_fan_config2 |= 1;
	for (i = 0; i < (quirks->cpu_fans + quirks->gpu_fans); ++i)
		gpu_fan_config2 |= 1 << (i + 1);
	for (i = 0; i < quirks->gpu_fans; ++i)
		gpu_fan_config2 |= 1 << (i + 3);
	if (quirks->cpu_fans > 0)
		gpu_fan_config1 |= value;
	for (i = 0; i < (quirks->cpu_fans + quirks->gpu_fans); ++i)
		gpu_fan_config1 |= value << (2 * i + 2);
	for (i = 0; i < quirks->gpu_fans; ++i)
		gpu_fan_config1 |= value << (2 * i + 6);
	WMID_gaming_set_u64(gpu_fan_config2 | gpu_fan_config1 << 16, ACER_CAP_TURBO_FAN);
}

And call that in both places to remove the duplication.


Also I just noticed that you are using c++ style '//' comments here. Please use
standard C-style '/* ... */' comments instead like we do every where else in
the drivers/platform/x86 code.

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
