This serie can support to turn governor for thermal zone in

Can you please explain why this is needed? Are you facing troubles with
current way to switch governors? If yes, can you please report them?


....

Adds thermal_update_governor() function, so the thermal platform
driver can use it to update governor.

Here I cannot see why the platform driver would need to update a
governor, instead of a zone. Platform drivers are not supposed to be
aware of governors. For updating a zone we already have an API for that,
please check documentation.


I think we have a miscommunication. The purpose of thermal_update_governor is to *switch* governors at runtime (from within the kernel).

Wei has used the term "update" in the sense of switch rather than "update" in the sense used by thermal_zone_device_update.

Eduardo, what is your recommended technique for setting the governor of a thermal zone device created via device tree?

thanks,
Matt
