Yes, ACPI 4.0 added this mess. I have yet to see a single system that

FAN specs, I very much doubt anyone will ever bother with this.
Nice attempt at saving face, but wrong as _always_.
The CONFIG_PATA_ACPI option has been in the kernel since 2008 and lots
of people have used it.
If you search for "ACPI ide" you'll find people complaining in 2008-2010
about windows error messages indicating the device is present in their
system but no OS driver is available.
That you "have yet to see a single system that implements it" is about
the worst piece of internet research I've ever seen. Do you not _get_
that your opinion about what exists and how it works is not authoritative?
You can also find articles about both windows and linux systems actively
using ACPI fan control going back to 2009
These are not hard searches to pull off. These are not obscure
references. Go to the google box and start typing "ACPI fan..." and
check the autocomplete.
I'll skip ovea all the parts where you don't know how a chipset works
and blah, blah, blah...
You really should have just stopped at "I don't know" and "I've never"
because you keep demonstrating that you _don't_ know, and that you
really _should_ _never_.
Tell us more about the lizard aliens controlling your computer, I find
your versions of realty fascinating...
