First, thanks a lot for posting this, I've been wanting mainline
support for this device for a long time :-)

I tried this patch on my LS-XHL and found two issues:

1) When setting the fan speed to 0, the system produces a lot of GPIO
fan alarm IRQs and then the kernel reports that it's disabling the
GPIO fan alarm IRQ altogether:

$ echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/bus/platform/devices/gpio-fan/fan1_target

2) Pressing the FUNC button or moving the power switch seems to hang
the device; my SSH connection freezes and the only way back is a
reboot. One time I managed to capture this output before the box froze
(I only moved the power switch this time):

$ evtest  /dev/input/event0

And at the same time, in another terminal:

$ cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0
  1:      15567  orion_irq  orion_tick
  5:          2  orion_irq  mv_xor.0

 33:        268  orion_irq

107:   10154532         -  Power-on Switch
Err:          0

So, the power switch also seem to suffer from some interrupt overload;
10154532 IRQs for Power-auto Switch is not right...right?

Have you seen this behaviour?

I can do more testing if someone can point me in the right direction.
(I don't have serial port access to the box, so it's a bit of a
crippled development environment. But it will have to do.)

Best regards,
Bjørn Forsman
