tristate "Generic Thermal sysfs driver"
help
Generic Thermal Sysfs driver offers a generic mechanism for
thermal management. Usually it's made up of one or more thermal
zone and cooling device.
Each thermal zone contains its own temperature, trip points,
cooling devices.
All platforms with ACPI thermal support can use this driver.
If you want this support, you should say Y or M here.

thermal: add generic cpufreq cooling implementation This patchset introduces a new generic cooling device based on cpufreq that can be used on non-ACPI platforms. As a proof of concept, we have drivers for the following platforms using this mechanism now: * Samsung Exynos (Exynos4 and Exynos5) in the current patchset. * Freescale i.MX (git://git.linaro.org/people/amitdanielk/linux.git imx6q_thermal) There is a small change in cpufreq cooling registration APIs, so a minor change is needed for Freescale platforms. Brief Description: 1) The generic cooling devices code is placed inside driver/thermal/* as placing inside acpi folder will need un-necessary enabling of acpi code. This code is architecture independent. 2) This patchset adds generic cpu cooling low level implementation through frequency clipping. In future, other cpu related cooling devices may be added here. An ACPI version of this already exists (drivers/acpi/processor_thermal.c) .But this will be useful for platforms like ARM using the generic thermal interface along with the generic cpu cooling devices. The cooling device registration API's return cooling device pointers which can be easily binded with the thermal zone trip points. The important APIs exposed are, a) struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register( struct cpumask *clip_cpus) b) void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev) 3) Samsung exynos platform thermal implementation is done using the generic cpu cooling APIs and the new trip type. The temperature sensor driver present in the hwmon folder(registered as hwmon driver) is moved to thermal folder and registered as a thermal driver. A simple data/control flow diagrams is shown below, Core Linux thermal <-----> Exynos thermal interface <----- Temperature Sensor | | \|/ | Cpufreq cooling device <--------------- TODO: *Will send the DT enablement patches later after the driver is merged. This patch: Add support for generic cpu thermal cooling low level implementations using frequency scaling up/down based on the registration parameters. Different cpu related cooling devices can be registered by the user and the binding of these cooling devices to the corresponding trip points can be easily done as the registration APIs return the cooling device pointer. The user of these APIs are responsible for passing clipping frequency . The drivers can also register to recieve notification about any cooling action called.

This implements the generic cpu cooling mechanism through frequency
reduction, cpu hotplug and any other ways of reducing temperature. An
ACPI version of this already exists(drivers/acpi/processor_thermal.c).
This will be useful for platforms using the generic thermal interface
and not the ACPI interface.
If you want this support, you should say Y here.
