We developed a new governor, based on PID logic. It will need some
parameters, such as proportional, integral and derivative. These values
will be initialized in different values for different thermal zone.
When the thermal driver use the pid governor, the thermal framework will
call the pid governor's .start(thz), and in the .start(), it will
allocate structures for those parameters, which are in the thermal zone,
something like:
int pid_thermal_gov_start(struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
{
...
gov = kzalloc(sizeof(struct pid_thermal_governor), GFP_KERNEL);
gov->parameter_1 = tz->governor_params->parameter_1;
gov->parameter_2 = tz->governor_params->parameter_2;
...
tz->governor_data = gov;

/* and also will create ABI for the pid governor in this thermal zone */
}
So when run .throttle(), it can get those parameters from the
tz->governor_data to run.
And in the .stop, it will free those structures.

I'm preparing the patches for the pid governor, and need to be reviewed
internal first, and then I will try to upstream them :)

Yes, I have noticed this bug.
BTW, Eduardo have submitted a new patch to set the governor to default
governor [PATCH 1/1] thermal: fix default governor assignment .

Anyway, in here, I should fix it as:
if (tz->governor && tz->governor->start)


Thanks.
Wei.

Oh, yes, we can invoke it here.
