As this is not really board-specific, I think the proper way to handle this for all boards is to let the thermal driver read the temperature grading from the OTP fuses and set the trip-points accordingly, similar to what is done on i.MX6 [1].

Frieder,

Yes, I thought about adding that kind of support to imx8mm_thermal.c
but the difference is that imx8mm has alerts defined by dt and imx6
does not so is it right to override dt alerts on imx8m? What if
someone designs a board that they specifically want a lower alert than
the cpu grade they are using based on something else on the board?

My approach to this was to eventually actually adjust the imx8m dt
alerts in boot firmware based on some boot firmware setting or
specific board support and leave the kernel alone.

Best regards,

Tim
