The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Gen 11 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Elite (glymur) laptop. It carries a Compal EF06 embedded controller on I2C at address 0x70, which is the only source on this machine for the board thermistors, the battery cell voltages, the fan tachometer, the keyboard backlight, and the mic-mute and airplane-mode keys. Patch 1 documents the binding, patch 2 adds the driver. Why this is not qcom-hamoa-ec ----------------------------- The Snapdragon reference designs - glymur CRD, hamoa IoT EVK, Asus Zenbook A16 - place their embedded controller at 0x76, and drivers/platform/arm64/qcom-hamoa-ec.c drives those. This machine is different: only 0x70 ACKs, and 0x76 is not populated at all. That is also why the firmware reports every host fan capability as unsupported, since profiles, trip points, LUTs and tachometer queries are all addressed to 0x76. Binding qcom-hamoa-ec here does not work. It speaks a different command set (0x05/0x0e/0x42), appears to probe only because it never validates the firmware version it reads back, then reports zero fans and leaves the interrupt asserted at roughly 25 events/s indefinitely. The ACPI tables describe both controllers: one at 0x76 (OperationRegion DVUM, fields FC20-FC2A) inherited from the reference design, and the one this driver targets at 0x70 (OperationRegion ERAM, battery and charger fields). Only the latter responds on this board. Notes ----- Fan speed is reported but not controlled, deliberately - the EC enforces no thermal floor over a manual setpoint. Patch 2 has the measurement. The DT node for the controller is not part of this series; it lands with the board DTS, which is being upstreamed separately. Tested on a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Gen 11 (DMI 83QR, "Yoga Slim 7 14Q8Y11"). Changes in v2: - Patch 2: drop #include <linux/mod_devicetable.h>; <linux/i2c.h> already provides both of_device_id (via linux/of.h) and i2c_device_id (via linux/device-id/i2c.h), and the header is on its way out. Reported-by: Uwe Kleine-Koenig [off-list ref] - Patch 2: add "depends on INPUT" to EC_LENOVO_YOGA_SLIM7X_GEN11; the driver registers an input device unconditionally, so a config with INPUT=n did not link. - Patch 1: pick up Conor Dooley's Acked-by. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260908091752.5508-1-okerixx@gmail.com/ (local) Oleg Keri (2): dt-bindings: embedded-controller: add Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Gen 11 EC platform/arm64: add Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Gen 11 EC driver .../sysfs-driver-lenovo-yoga-slim7x-gen11-ec | 21 + .../lenovo,yoga-slim7x-gen11-ec.yaml | 56 ++ MAINTAINERS | 8 + drivers/platform/arm64/Kconfig | 23 + drivers/platform/arm64/Makefile | 1 + .../arm64/lenovo-yoga-slim7x-gen11-ec.c | 638 ++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 747 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-driver-lenovo-yoga-slim7x-gen11-ec create mode 100644 Documentation/devicetree/bindings/embedded-controller/lenovo,yoga-slim7x-gen11-ec.yaml create mode 100644 drivers/platform/arm64/lenovo-yoga-slim7x-gen11-ec.c -- 2.55.0 base-commit: df2908090cda368b01ff43709f51890076c56157
