Thermal zones located in power domains may not be accessible when
the domain is powergated. In this situation, reading the temperature
will return -BPMP_EFAULT. When evaluating trips, BPMP will internally
use -256C as the temperature for offline zones.
For smooth operation, for offline zones, return -EAGAIN when reading
the temperature and allow registration of zones even if they are
offline during probe.
I think it makes more sense to check if the power domain associated
with the device is powered up and if not return -EPROBE_DEFER.
The power domains in question are related to computer vision engines
that only get powered on when in use, possibly never if the user doesn't
run a computer vision workload on the system. We still want other
thermal zones to be available.
Ok, I see the point.
I'm worried about the semantic of the errors returned, the translation
from BPMP_EFAULT to EAGAIN and the assumption it is a disabled (may be
forever) thermal zone.
What does the documentation say for the error msg.rx.ret == -BPMP_EFAULT?
