Say, processor has P0~P3, then we need to register a thermal zone with three STATE_ACTIVE trip points, like the picture shown below? processor in full speed, i.e. P0 ---------------------------- state active trip point 1 ---------------------------- processor in P1 ---------------------------- state active trip point 2 ---------------------------- processor in P2 ---------------------------- state active trip point 3 ---------------------------- processor in P3 > > PATCH 2) [thermal: Add generic cpu cooling implementation] > > This patch adds generic cpu cooling low level implementation through frequency > > clipping and cpu hotplug.
