From a7da8a8bf19b758d6db50a1c09627b0422fe98db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenz Brun Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2023 02:10:08 +0100 Subject: hwmon: (pwm-fan) set usage_power on PWM state PWM fans are controlled solely by the duty cycle of the PWM signal, they do not care about the exact timing. Thus set usage_power to true to allow less flexible hardware to work as a PWM source for fan control.
