"Impressive" subject (I dropped most of it). Really, you should not do that.

That comment doesn't explain anything. If it is supposed to mean that it is
not supported on all laptop variants, the attribute should not be instantiated
in the first place. I am sure I mentioned this before.

There is only one pwm channel. Checking the channel number is pointless.

pwm range, per ABI, is 0..255, not 0..5. It is expected to be normalized.

Since you are not using the standard ABI, what are the values returned
as fan speed ? Is that RPM or something else ?

I am quite sure that led_classdev_register() doesn't return ACPI error codes.

Why use devm_hwmon_device_register_with_info() but not
devm_led_classdev_register() ?
