Vadim Pasternak c07e759b3f hwmon: (mlxreg-fan) Separate methods of fan setting coming from different subsystems
[ Upstream commit c02e4644f8ac9c501077ef5ac53ae7fc51472d49 ]

Distinct between fan speed setting request coming for hwmon and
thermal subsystems.

There are fields 'last_hwmon_state' and 'last_thermal_state' in the
structure 'mlxreg_fan_pwm', which respectively store the cooling state
set by the 'hwmon' and 'thermal' subsystem.
The purpose is to make arbitration of fan speed setting. For example, if
fan speed required to be not lower than some limit, such setting is to
be performed through 'hwmon' subsystem, thus 'thermal' subsystem will
not set fan below this limit.

Currently, the 'last_thermal_state' is also be updated by 'hwmon' causing
cooling state to never be set to a lower value.

Eliminate update of 'last_thermal_state', when request is coming from
'hwmon' subsystem.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
