The bug is “status: NEEDINFO”, so I assume it’s not fixed yet. In the meantime, manually loading the windfarm modules is a tested workaround.Does this workaround work for you, too? "However, there is a workaround: In addition to CONFIG_I2C_POWERMAC=y you need to compile "Device Drivers → Macintosh device drivers → WINDFARM=y" statically into the kernel. Then, the relevant WINDFARM_xx module gets automatically loaded again."
Merely a follow up.
I have tested this and run the change :
therm_windtunnel: drop using attach_adapter
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/macintosh?id=3e7bed52719de4b5b5fb900869e293eae0bc3f3e
For weeks now with no issues.
I am switching to 4.18.9 now and the
drivers/macintosh/therm_windtunnel.c file therein is still original. I
see no reason why
the change could not be pushed into the linux kernel proper. Dennis
