[PATCH v2 2/3] ARM: dts: rockchip: Use the GPU to cool CPU thermal zone of veyron mickey

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On rk3288 the CPU and GPU temperatures are correlated. Limit the GPU
frequency on veyron mickey to 400 MHz for CPU temperatures >= 65°C
and to 300 MHz for CPU temperatures >= 85°C.

This matches the configuration of the downstream Chrome OS 3.14 kernel,
the 'official' kernel for mickey.

Changes in v2:
- added 'cpu_warm_limit_gpu' to throttle GPU for T.cpu >= 65°C
- removed comment saying that GPU isn't throttled beyond 400 MHz
  based on CPU temperature
- updated commit message

Note: this patch depends on "ARM: dts: rockchip: Add #cooling-cells
entry for rk3288 GPU" (https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1075005/)
