I am working on git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git

For master branch.

Is there any updated git repo that I should rebase my patch?

Would separate in the next patch.

It's a generic patch, just want to support thermal zone using a simple device tree.
Any SoC with SCSI interface and attached hard drives can benefit this change.

Normally a THERMAL_OF require a platform device to add a thermal zone.

Original drivetemp.c works quite well as a hwmon device, but no thermal zone support.

My patch just extend its capability to support a simple thermal zone created with this hwmon.

This is bind to any specific vendor, just to provide an easy way to handle cooling when hard drives' temperature gets high.

Best Regards,
Phinex
