Dear Maintainer,
Issue:
The Intel Arc Pro B60 (Battlemage, device 8086:e211) has some issues with fan
control. After the system has been running for a while, the fans
spin up and do not spin back down.
The driver logs show:
xe 0000:04:00.0: [drm] Can't init xe mei late bind missing mei component
The fan control version shows as:
$ cat /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xe/0000:04:00.0/lb_fan_control_version
0.0.0.0
Root cause(my working theory):
The xe driver requires CONFIG_INTEL_MEI_LB to communicate with the load board
microcontroller that manages fan control and voltage regulation. This option
was added in Linux 6.19 but is currently disabled in Debian's kernel config:
$ grep INTEL_MEI_LB /boot/config-$(uname -r)
# CONFIG_INTEL_MEI_LB is not set
Setting CONFIG_INTEL_MEI_LB=m should allow the xe driver to initialize the
load board via the MEI interface at runtime, enabling proper fan control and
voltage regulation without requiring firmware flashing or a reboot.
This is similar to bug #1028463 which added CONFIG_INTEL_MEI_GSC for Intel
Arc A-series support.
Please also consider backporting to trixie-backports, as this affects users
running the current stable release with backports kernel.
