Still no amdgpu fan rpm interface?

That would go in via AMDGPU DRM-Next tree rather than drm-misc-next.

Nice. My heart went back in place. LOL. I need that feature badly, the noise is killing me.

Typo: "smothering" should be "smattering"

I have tried them all. The issue is that the pmw interface they are using is BROKEN for my card. It is supposed to receive values from 0-255 representing % of fan speed, but they don't work like this on my Tonga. Apparently any value under 80% makes my fan have a 150RPM speed and any value over 80% to have a 3500RPM speed. No middle ground. The issue is that 3500RPM is LOUD! I would like to configure it to reach something like 500,1000,1500,2000 when on lower temperatures so i can avoid the loudness, but the fan interface is broken so i can't. I was hoping that allowind for user specified RPM would fix this issue for me.
