@@ -292,3 +292,15 @@ Some NanoPC-T6 boards use a A3A444 eMMC chip. Under heavy I/O load when running
 in HS400 mode, this will often result in I/O errors.
 Reducing the eMMC frequency from the default 200000000 Hz to 150000000 Hz improves
 stability and eliminates the I/O errors.

+**********************************
+Details for Rock 5 ITX overlays:
+
+### rockchip-rk3588-rock-5-itx-pwm-fan
+
+The Rock 5 ITX DTB defines the fan as a /pwm-fan node without a labelled phandle,
+so the generic rockchip-rk3588-fanctrl overlay (which targets &fan) does not apply.
+This overlay patches the /pwm-fan node directly, fixing the default cooling-levels
+which start at 0 — causing the fan to receive no PWM signal at idle and default to
+full speed. The corrected curve starts at 1 (near-silent) and ramps through four
+steps tied to temperature trip points (45°C / 50°C / 55°C / 65°C).
