Linux Sensor Driver Coming For GPD Handhelds


The upcoming Linux 6.18 kernel cycle is likely to see the new 'gpd-fan' driver merged as a hardware monitoring driver for the increasing number of GPD gaming handheld devices.

GPD is the Chinese brand that has been producing a number of different handheld console devices focused on gaming. That gpd-fan driver is queued up within the hardware monitoring subsystem's hwmon-next Git branch. With this new GPD sensor driver making it into "hwmon-next", it in turn should be submitted to mainline for the upcoming Linux 6.18 merge window.
