I'm happy to try and help, but I'm not too familiar with coreboots code. So I'll try my best.

There's not too many logs I can really attach. The mute button still works like I said, but the LED just doesn't turn on/off. Could you please let me know where the code would be for this so I can start analyzing it?

For Thinkfan, I get the following error:

```

ERROR: ~TpFanDriver: Resetting fan control in /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: No such file or directory

ERROR: ~TpFanDriver: Resetting fan control in /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: No such file or directory

ERROR: init: Initializing fan control in /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: No such file or directory

```

I couldn't run board_status because I got:

```

Getting coreboot boot log

Getting timestamp data

Verifying that nvramtool is available

Getting all CMOS values

Failed to run "util/nvramtool/nvramtool -a", aborting

```

Thanks

* Author: frantic from xboot

* Status: New

* Priority: Normal

* Start date: 2024-03-07

* Affected versions: master

* Affected hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad T440p

* Affected OS: All Linux distributions

----------------------------------------

In recent coreboot versions, the audio mute button and fan control has stopped working. Whereas you use the same revision from Libreboot, it all works fine and smoothly. This leads me to suspect that someone changed someone without testing, which is real annoying.

The audio mute button technically still functions, but the LED no longer turns on/off. Always just off.

Fan control no longer works with Thinkfan. /proc/acpi/ibm/fan doesn't exist any more. I've tried "force loading" thinkpad_acpi, but it doesn't work.
