13description: |
14  Thermal management is achieved in devicetree by describing the sensor hardware
15  and the software abstraction of cooling devices and thermal zones required to
16  take appropriate action to mitigate thermal overloads.
17
18  The following node types are used to completely describe a thermal management
19  system in devicetree:
20   - thermal-sensor: device that measures temperature, has SoC-specific bindings
21   - cooling-device: device used to dissipate heat either passively or actively
22   - thermal-zones: a container of the following node types used to describe all
23     thermal data for the platform
24
25  This binding describes the thermal-zones.
26
27  The polling-delay properties of a thermal-zone are bound to the maximum dT/dt
28  (temperature derivative over time) in two situations for a thermal zone:
29    1. when passive cooling is activated (polling-delay-passive)
30    2. when the zone just needs to be monitored (polling-delay) or when
31       active cooling is activated.
32
33  The maximum dT/dt is highly bound to hardware power consumption and
34  dissipation capability. The delays should be chosen to account for said
35  max dT/dt, such that a device does not cross several trip boundaries
36  unexpectedly between polls. Choosing the right polling delays shall avoid
37  having the device in temperature ranges that may damage the silicon structures
38  and reduce silicon lifetime.

44      A /thermal-zones node is required in order to use the thermal framework to
45      manage input from the various thermal zones in the system in order to
46      mitigate thermal overload conditions. It does not represent a real device
47      in the system, but acts as a container to link a thermal sensor device,
48      platform-data regarding temperature thresholds and the mitigation actions
49      to take when the temperature crosses those thresholds.

83        description: |
84          The action the OS should perform after the critical temperature is reached.
85          If the property is not set, it is up to the system to select the correct
86          action. The recommended and preferred default is shutdown.
87          Choose 'reboot' with care, as the hardware may be in thermal stress,
88          thus leading to infinite reboots that may cause damage to the hardware.
89          Make sure the firmware/bootloader will act as the last resort and take
90          over the thermal control.

107          that binds all the sensors listed in this thermal zone.
108
109          The linear equation used is as follows,
110            z = c0 * x0 + c1 * x1 + ... + c(n-1) * x(n-1) + cn
111          where c0, c1, .., cn are the coefficients.
112
113          Coefficients default to 1 in case this property is not specified. The
114          coefficients are ordered and are matched with sensors by means of the
115          sensor ID. Additional coefficients are interpreted as constant offset.

150                  maintained until the temperature falls below
151                  (trip temperature - hysteresis). This potentially prevents a
152                  situation where the trip gets constantly triggered soon after
153                  cooling action is removed.

163                  There are four valid trip types: active, passive, hot,
164                  critical.
165
166                  The critical trip type is used to set the maximum
167                  temperature threshold above which the HW becomes
168                  unstable and underlying firmware might even trigger a
169                  reboot. Hitting the critical threshold triggers a system
170                  shutdown.
171
172                  The hot trip type can be used to send a notification to
173                  the thermal driver (if a .notify callback is registered).
174                  The action to be taken is left to the driver.
175
176                  The passive trip type can be used to slow down HW e.g. run
177                  the CPU, GPU, bus at a lower frequency.
178
179                  The active trip type can be used to control other HW to
180                  help in cooling e.g. fans can be sped up or slowed down
