"hw-" seems kind of redundant since > DT is a hardware description, and "trips" isn't a very good abbreviation > for "trip-points". In the linux thermal framework, it has the node definition "trips" and have sysfs interface named as "trip-points", these "trip" are set for SW. If we also use the "trip-points" in here, it will make confusion. I used "hw-", because it's different with the SW trip-points, the trip-points under it are for the Tegra to shutdown/reset from HW, or trigger the HW-throttle. (not SW throttle, see below) How about "hw-trip-points"? > >> + * sensors: Sub-nodes which are used to describe the HW trip points info, >> + must be named as "cpu", "gpu", "mem", "pll". >> + Properties: >> + - therm-temp : Shutdown temperature in millicelsius, once the >> + temperature of this sensor is higher than the therm-temp, the system >> + will be reset or shutdown. > > Why not call the property "shutdown-temperature" if that's what it is. This is the shutdown/reset temperature. The Tegra's SPEC calls it as thermtrip event, when the temperature touch this value, it will trigger the thermtrip event, and then will cause the system reset or shutdown, it depends on the HW platform design. So I named it as "therm-temp". I think it's better to change to "thermtrip-temperature". > >> + - throt-temp : HW throttle temperature in millicelsius, once the >> + temperature of this sensor is higher than the throt-temp, the HW >> + throttle will be triggered in soctherm.

The Tegra soctherm support throttle function, when the temperature touch the trip point, the HW will skip the CPU/GPU' pulse, so I called it as HW throttle. For the SW throttle, the SW will cap the CPU/GPU or other clocks frequencies. Anyway, since we didn't support it yet, I will drop it for now. > > Thierry > > * Unknown Key > * 0x7F3EB3A1 > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
