Hi All,

There are several bug-reports about the new AMD_SFH driver not working
on various HP ENVY x360 Convertible models. The problem is that the
driver expects the BIOS to program which sensors are present into the
active bits of the AMD_P2C_MSG3 register; and the BIOS on these models
does not do this:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199715
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651886

This patch-set adds a module-parameter + DMI-quirk mechanism to override
the settings read back from the AMD_P2C_MSG3 register, to work around
this problem. The DMI-quirk table is populated with 2 HP ENVY x360
Convertible models which are know to need this workaround.
Applied, thanks.
