Linux kernel source tree
6c375eccde
This patch rewrites the DB8500 thermal sensor to be a pure OF sensor, so that it can be used with thermal zones defined in the device tree. This driver was initially merged before we had generic thermal zone device tree bindings, and now it gets modernized to the way we do things these days. The old driver depended on a set of trigger points provided in the device tree or platform data to interpolate the current temperature between trigger points depending on whether the trend was rising or falling. This was bad because the trigger points should be used for defining temperature zone policies and bind to cooling devices. As the PRCMU (power reset control management unit) can only issue IRQs when we pass temperature trigger points upward or downward We instead define a number of temperature points inside the driver ranging from 15 to 100 degrees celsius. The effect is that when we register the device we quickly trigger 15, 20 ... up to the room temperature in succession and then we get continous event IRQs also under normal operating conditions, and the temperature of the system is now reported more accurately (+/- 2.5 degrees celsius) while in the past the first trigger point was at 70 degrees and the average temperature was simply reported as 35 degrees celsius (between 70 degrees and 0) until we passed 70 degrees which didn't accurately represent the temperature of the system. As a result of dropping all the trigger points from the driver and reusing the core DT thermal zone management code we reduce the code footprint quite a bit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
