Public bug reported:

After upgrading from Ubuntu 21.04 to Ubuntu 21.10 a few days ago, I
noticed that the fans of my laptop (Lenovo ideapad 700-15ISK) were
spinning all the time at about ~50%, no matter the CPU load.

I forced all my cores to run at 100% with a simple while(1) loop to see
if the fan speed would increase but nothing. Apparently, no matter the
CPU load and temperature, with kernel 5.13.0-19 the fans of my laptop
spin at the same RPM. From their noise, I believe that's about 50%.

Therefore, I decided to boot the same Ubuntu 21.10 with the older kernel
5.11.0-37 and the problem disappeared. Looks like in the newer kernel
there is a problem with the control of fans for my HW. To complete the
picture, I built and booted kernel v5.15-rc5 to see if with a bleeding
edge kernel the problem would disappear: it didn't. Therefore, the
problem appears to be introduced somewhere between kernel 5.11 and
kernel 5.13.

The output of `sensors`, unfortunately doesn't show any fans and that's
the same no matter the kernel version:
