strange behaviour on newer kernel

[tuxd3v]

Hello,
I noticed that after upgrade to:


linux-image-4.4.154-1122-rockchip-ayufan-g7859b9b904a9 linux-headers-4.4.154-1122-rockchip-ayufan-g7859b9b904a9 linux-firmware-image-4.4.154-1122-rockchip-ayufan-g7859b9b904a9

My Fan stop and start, almost by itself..

Does anyone is experiencing the same?


I am um the bionic image..

Something that occurs me..
It could be that this newer kernel, only activate Fan, when temps reach 57°C ..

Because the hwmon facility, has 3 or 4 options..
which include
Throtling, and Active Thermal

And so maybe it is a feature..??

thanks for that 
the fan will need more power at start.

For example in fanctl I start it like:
130
200ms
190
1 second
so that it can gain momentum, then I set the pwm to a value, imagine 40.
The fan already started it can then be at 40..
I don't advise going lower than 30-35, it depends again..

because of it, I choose 40 as minimum..
