So, while the fan misbehavior started around the time of the kernel
upgrade, the reason turned out to be a lot more simple.

For me, it was a dust problem. After thorough cleaning, the problem is
gone. :D

I have the same issue here, it started at the moment I moved from the
4.19 kernel to 5.9, and now 5.10. For totally non-obvious reasons fans
start blowing like crazy regularly for a few seconds. When observing
system load, it's just hovering around 0.2 - 0.4, no peaks observed.

This is an Intel NUC with just a Buster system used as mostly inactive
desktop.

FWIW, attached are output of lshw and lspci -v.

Hello Maintainer,

every few minutes the fans turn to maximum for a few seconds. The CPU
load is less than 1 %, but the fans are turning maximum. The problen
starts with version 5.9. I didn't see anything conspicuous in the
syslog. The machine is a KVM host and the problem also occurs when it
is idle.
