This add the necessary binding documentation for the thermal
found on Rockchip SoCs
Hi 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,

Tomeu

Why 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?

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.
