Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 4/9] of: Add bindings of hw throttle for soctherm
Reply-To:

The patch title must say something about the fact that this is specific
to nvidia thermal driver.

These properties are not generic properties. My understanding is that
you must have vendor prefix in such case. Same applies to the new nodes.

This is a sensor, which at the same time, has sub nodes that can be
cooling devices. Is my understanding correct of what you are trying to
do?

Could you please describe a little here what to expect of the above
setup?
