From cccfc9c4bb3c7888f8249b36e08d6e115238c613 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jean Delvare Date: Fri, 5 Mar 2010 22:17:21 +0100 Subject: hwmon: (it87) Validate auto pwm settings Before switching to automatic fan control mode, make sure that all the trip points make sense. Otherwise, the control loop could lead to weird fan behavior.
