no /dev/fan files on edge kerbnel v5.18.0

[iav]

Fresh build edge bullseye image with kernel

Linux helios 5.18.0-rockchip64 #trunk SMP PREEMPT Sun May 29 20:19:27 EEST 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux

fancontrol not work, because there no /dev/fan devices

 

How to get fancontrol back to work?

[RockBian]

On my system it are symlinks to /sys/..:

$ ls -l /dev/fan*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Feb 19 17:50 /dev/fan-p6 -> /sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Feb 19 17:50 /dev/fan-p7 -> /sys/devices/platform/p7-fan/hwmon/hwmon5

 

Those are generated by an udev rule:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-helios64-hwmon.rules
# Helios64 persistent hwmon

ACTION=="remove", GOTO="helios64_hwmon_end"

I go by tree from ytour post /sys/devices/platform/p6-fan/hwmon/hwmon6 ans see no hwmon  in /sys/devices/platform/p6-fan(begin of lines removed):

root@helios64:/sys/devices/platform/p6-fan# ls -l
driver_override
modalias
of_node -> ../../../firmware/devicetree/base/p6-fan
power
subsystem -> ../../../bus/platform
supplier:platform:ff420010.pwm -> ../../virtual/devlink/platform:ff420010.pwm--platform:p6-fan

I build this kernel with armbian default kernel config. How can we have different trees in /sys on same hardware?

[halfa]

I confirm that I have the same issue, on kernel 5.18.0 with the default armbian build the fans are not detected by the hwmon module:

On kernel 5.17 it was working fine. Now digging into what could have caused this...

[prahal]

@halfa is your missing fans detection on helios64 fixed?

Do you have `pwm_fan\ in the `lsmod`  output?
