There's special code for dealing with this cooling device in drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c:passive_store(): list_for_each_entry(cdev, &thermal_cdev_list, node) { if (!strncmp("Processor", cdev->type, sizeof("Processor"))) thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device(tz, THERMAL_TRIPS_NONE, cdev, THERMAL_NO_LIMIT, THERMAL_NO_LIMIT); } mutex_unlock(&thermal_list_lock); if (!tz->passive_delay) With your change, that code is now "dead" as it can't do anything. No I don't know what should you do with it, either remove it or make it match the cpufreq cooling device. But this patch should deal with that code as well.
