I'm sorry, my wording wasn't the best here. I'm not critizing the work done here, merely voicing my concern (and also interest!) about how the new stuff interacts with code that may eventually get merged. You're aware of it, that's enough for me to know. > The code which touches exynos-cpufreq.c is around 30 LOC, only for > preserving cpu cooling functionality. > > Is it worth to wait for code developed for so long to happily apply 30 > LOC and delay removal of around 400 LOC in other subsystem (thermal)? No, of course not. That was pretty stupid of me :( > I rise my hand as a volunteer to fix any thermal related issues which > show up after cpufreq rework code applying to Exynos.

I've got a question concerning this. Is this only needed for exynos-cpufreq, or does cpufreq-dt also need something like that. The point is that I'm still working with a rather old version of the cpufreq series, a version which still had the Exynos4x12 code in it (this was removed later, if I remember correctly because of problems with how to properly describe boost configuration in DT). Anyway, to not get completly off-topic here, I noticed some small issue with v3 of the thermal series. I've enabled CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON so that I can use lm_sensors to query temperature of the board. However while the thermal_zone is created, there is no hwmon node to be found. This was working properly without the thermal series.
