    Hey, I understand your complain but not matter what name I find, they are all confusing in some way. In the case of "bios" or "default", it doesn't express that you leave it in this state.
    With FAN_CTRL_NONE, it really means that there is no control and thus, the fan is left untouched. For now, this mode is the default, but starting from next kernel, I will push for auto fan management as a default.

    Anyway, it shouldn't matter as this name is internal only. The user has to use the sysfs interface which uses numbers (as specified in the hwmon interface http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Docum...-interface#250).
