This add the necessary binding documentation for the thermal found on Rockchip SoCsHi Caesar, is there any reason to not use the existing thermal bindings? You can find a description in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal.txt and example code in omap, or in the patches for Tegra recently posted by Mikko Perttunen. Regards, TomeuWhy should I use the existing thermal bindings?Because otherwise, you are asking to merge duplicated code. There's a generic way to define thermal zones, trip points, cooling devices, etc. And also code to parse and plug them together. Why add soc-specific code to do the same?quoted
I believe omap,tegar and rockchip are the three seperate thermals driver.Yes, and OMAP is already using the generic bindings, and the proposed patches for Tegra as well, and I think it would make sense for Rockchip to also use them (unless I'm missing something).
You are talking about drivers/thermal/of-thermal.c, right? Yes, I think Rockchip should be using the same generic framework if possible. Thanks. -- Dmitry
