Hello Rui,
Please consider the following changes for 3.14. It contains the work of
representing hardware thermal using device tree. It also contains
three examples on how to use the new representation on sensor devices,
using three different drivers to accomplish it. One driver is on thermal
subsystem, the TI SoC thermal, and the other two drivers are in hwmon
subsystem. I also included a change on cpu cooling device, which required
also a change on cpufreq-cpu0 driver. The change on this cooling device
still keeps in one piece its usage on different platforms.
Because it is a controversial topic due to the lack of standards, and
because it touches different subsystems, it took way longer than I expected.
However, I've been discussing in different channels, and I believe I got
enough entropy now to go forward. We have acks from cpufreq folks (on ARM side)
and from hwmon folks too. Raphael W., Jean D. and Mark R. have also
reviewed this series. They agree with the core idea of the work.
It has been agreed that this is not the end of it. As I said I started
with only three examples, but there are other potential drivers to use
this API. So, I have agreed with Jean D., for instance, that this
series would be first step of the complete work. Next would be to check
other potential drivers to be converted and then validate the proposed
API. Currently the thermal framework would be polling for device
temperature, but we could implement a couple of call backs to setup
update rate, thresholds and hysteresis too, for instance.
On the other hand, I don't think the principle and concept would break
after converting the remaining drivers. That is why I am sending this pull
request.
Another point is, as you can see, there are several points in this pull
request that do not belong to thermal subsystem. It has been suggested
by Guenter R. that in such cases, it is recommended to send the complete
series via one single subsystem. Thus, I am sending via your queue.
Lastly, I've also volunteered to maintain the upcoming thermal bindings.
Then, you can see I am adding thermal bindings to our MAINTAINERS entry too.
All best,
