Hi, this series adds support for hardware-triggered thermal reset to the PMC driver. Namely, it adds device tree properties for specifying the I2C command to be sent when thermtrip is triggered. It is to be noted that thermtrip won't be ever triggered without a soctherm driver to calibrate the sensors, but I'll follow up with that patch. pmc.c required some juggling around to make the match data usable in probe, since I didn't want to put the code into the initcall either, since the soctherm driver won't be initialized by that point anyway. Series tested on Jetson-TK1. Should work on Tegra30 and Tegra114 too.Can you describe the procedure used to test this? We currently have a bunch of features in Tegra that some people have tested at some point during development but the test procedures never got documented. That means whenever we want to test something we need to go and reinvent a bunch of tests after the fact. So what I'd like to start doing is collect tests (preferably in some scripted way) so that they can be kept in a repository that people can easily clone and run on devices. Could you provide something like that for thermtrip?Sure. I'll see if I can make a just a test script or if a local patch is needed to test. Btw, I also have a pretty nice test script for EMC ready, and I agree that such a repository would be very nice.Here is a test program. It it works, the device with immediately shut down. https://gist.github.com/cyndis/66126c9c176b5f94a76fIs there a way to set the trip temperature without going through /dev/mem? I'd expect the device to have a sysfs interface of some sort.The thermtrip "device" isn't currently exposed in any way. If it were exposed, I suppose it would be exposed as thermal zone devices, each with one trip point. Even then, the thermal framework doesn't really support this properly; none of the trip point types really apply to this kind of trip point, and x86 systems don't expose their trips either.Okay. The reason why I asked is because I'm not sure yet that having C programs in the test suite would be good, so having something that's easily scriptable would be preferred.
I agree. Looks like Python's stdlib has mmap support, so maybe we could use that.

Anyway, since debugging is pretty much the only use case for modifying the trip temperature, I thought adding the tz_devices would be a bit overkill.An alternative could be a file in debugfs.
True, though there's the "don't expose dangerous stuff in debugfs" argument against that. I don't really have problem with it, though. Although in this case I think the script approach would be good enough.
