I'm not sure what you mean here. Surely, the 'type' is provided by whoever registers the thermal zone, so I'm not sure in what way it "belongs" to the framework. > Actually, the useful information is the id of the thermal zone, not the > type. This one can be duplicate, for instance: > > cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/type > acpitz > acpitz That's correct, but in the particular case of DT-based systems it comes from the DT (AFAICT) and so it allows to connect the kernel message with the DT contents. The id could be used for that, but that involves an extra sysfs lookup. > Given there are few places where 'type' is used in the drivers, I prefer > to directly change that to 'id' in the next patch instead of creating > the accessor for 'type', then send another series removing it. So you are going to change the behavior of those few places with the only reason being aesthetics AFAICS. Is this really a good enough reason to do that?
