A patch posted for the Intel i915 kernel graphics driver finally allows for fan speed reporting with Arc Graphics and other Intel discrete graphics cards under Linux.
In turn using lm-sensors or reading from sysfs directly allows for finding out the graphics card fan speed in RPMs and goes along with existing HWMON reporting capabilities for Intel GPUs around power consumption. It's a 71 line patch for getting the long-awaited Intel graphics card fan speed reporting under Linux.
