I found out, that the default init state of a cooling device is:
drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c: 960 dev->target = THERMAL_NO_TARGET;
While drivers/thermal/thermal_core.h: 30 /* Initial state of a cooling device during binding */ 31 #define THERMAL_NO_TARGET -1UL
So I changed my patch to this:
+ /* in case fan is in initial state, switch the fan off */ + if (instance->target == THERMAL_NO_TARGET) + instance->target = 0; + + /* in case fan is neither on nor off set the fan to active */ + if (instance->target != 0 && instance->target != 1) { + pr_warn("Thermal instance %s controlled by bang-bang has unexpected state: %ld\n", + instance->name, instance->target); + instance->target = 1; + }
