@Andreas, I did some more research.

I recently found out that quite recently, they turned off the ability to update our thermal_Zone trip_points. Now when I echo the trip points, I get only 125 degrees for critical set on THM0 and 105 degrees set for critical for THM1. There are NO Passive and NO active trip_points set!!!

Could this be the reason why ACPI is NOT altering the fan speed at all? The fan is perennially in auto mode with speeds ~2900.
