Comment 12 for bug 2041741

I have noted, as @jk does above, that with my patch in place, the fan does sometimes wobble between on/off states which it really shouldn't if hysteresis is sufficiently wide and is operating correctly. Still, not being fully versed in kernel patching, I opted for a minimal change that I could definitely comprehend the effect of (on the basis the results were "good enough for now").

On the subject of fanfix containing other fixes: it doesn't, but I can understand why it looks that way from the diff provided by the PPA. Unfortunately, Launchpad's gotten confused as to what version to diff against so it's looking at 1005.7 rather than 1006.8 as a base, hence why other stuff is showing up in there.

Unfortunately, it appears there's been another linux-raspi release (1007.9) but without the patch in place (presumably one that was already in the pipeline?), so my fan is back to spinning madly. I'll see if I can upload another patched version to the PPA shortly. I'll also push my branch to Launchpad so you can see the patch I'm building from (as Launchpad will probably diff the wrong thing in the PPA again).

@juergh -- is 1008 the one scheduled to have the fix, and am I right in thinking the first week of December is when it's due (or am I reading kernel.ubuntu.com wrong)?
