1.3 interface for binding a thermal zone device with a thermal cooling device
1.3.1 int thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device(struct thermal_zone_device *tz,
int trip, struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev,
- unsigned long upper, unsigned long lower);
+ unsigned long upper, unsigned long lower, unsigned int weight);
This interface function bind a thermal cooling device to the certain trip
point of a thermal zone device.
lower:the Minimum cooling state can be used for this trip point.
THERMAL_NO_LIMIT means no lower limit,
and the cooling device can be in cooling state 0.
+ weight: the influence of this cooling device in this thermal
+ zone. See 1.4.1 below for more information.
1.3.2 int thermal_zone_unbind_cooling_device(struct thermal_zone_device *tz,
int trip, struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev);
This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind
a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point.
.cdev: The cooling device pointer
- .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this zone.
- This is on a percentage scale. The sum of all these weights
- (for a particular zone) cannot exceed 100.
+ .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this
+ zone. This is relative to the rest of the cooling
+ devices. For example, if all cooling devices have a
+ weight of 1, then they all contribute the same. You can
+ use percentages if you want, but it's not mandatory. A
+ weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't
+ contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling
+ devices have a weight of 0. If all weights are 0, then
+ they all contribute the same.
.trip_mask:This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound

Thermal cooling device sys I/F, created once it's registered:
/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device[0-*]:
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone[0-*]:
|---cdev[0-*]: [0-*]th cooling device in current thermal zone
|---cdev[0-*]_trip_point: Trip point that cdev[0-*] is associated with
+ |---cdev[0-*]_weight: Influence of the cooling device in
+ this thermal zone
Besides the thermal zone device sysfs I/F and cooling device sysfs I/F,
the generic thermal driver also creates a hwmon sysfs I/F for each _type_
One of the various thermal governors used for a particular zone.

+ Available thermal governors which can be used for a particular zone.
+ RO, Required
+
trip_point_[0-*]_temp
The temperature above which trip point will be fired.

point.
RO, Optional
+cdev[0-*]_weight
+ The influence of cdev[0-*] in this thermal zone. This value
+ is relative to the rest of cooling devices in the thermal
+ zone. For example, if a cooling device has a weight double
+ than that of other, it's twice as effective in cooling the
+ thermal zone.
+ RW, Optional
+
passive
Attribute is only present for zones in which the passive cooling
policy is not supported by native thermal driver. Default is zero
because userland can easily disable the thermal policy by simply
flooding this sysfs node with low temperature values.
+sustainable_power
+ An estimate of the sustained power that can be dissipated by
+ the thermal zone. Used by the power allocator governor. For
+ more information see Documentation/thermal/power_allocator.txt
+ Unit: milliwatts
+ RW, Optional
+
+k_po
+ The proportional term of the power allocator governor's PID
+ controller during temperature overshoot. Temperature overshoot
+ is when the current temperature is above the "desired
+ temperature" trip point. For more information see
+ Documentation/thermal/power_allocator.txt
+ RW, Optional
+
+k_pu
+ The proportional term of the power allocator governor's PID
+ controller during temperature undershoot. Temperature undershoot
+ is when the current temperature is below the "desired
+ temperature" trip point. For more information see
+ Documentation/thermal/power_allocator.txt
+ RW, Optional
+
+k_i
+ The integral term of the power allocator governor's PID
+ controller. This term allows the PID controller to compensate
+ for long term drift. For more information see

+ RW, Optional
+
+k_d
+ The derivative term of the power allocator governor's PID
+ controller. For more information see
+ Documentation/thermal/power_allocator.txt
+ RW, Optional
+
+integral_cutoff
+ Temperature offset from the desired temperature trip point
+ above which the integral term of the power allocator
+ governor's PID controller starts accumulating errors. For
+ example, if integral_cutoff is 0, then the integral term only
+ accumulates error when temperature is above the desired
+ temperature trip point. For more information see
+ Documentation/thermal/power_allocator.txt
+ RW, Optional
+
+slope
+ The slope constant used in a linear extrapolation model
+ to determine a hotspot temperature based off the sensor's
+ raw readings. It is up to the device driver to determine
+ the usage of these values.
+ RW, Optional
+
+offset
+ The offset constant used in a linear extrapolation model
