From: Martin Sperl <redacted>

Add basic thermal driver for bcm2835 SOC.

This driver currently relies on the firmware setting up the
tsense HW block and does not set it up itself.

Signed-off-by: Martin Sperl <redacted>

ChangeLog:
 V1 -> V2: added specific settings depending on compatiblity
      added trip point based on register
      setting up ctrl-register if HW is not enabled by
firmware
        as per recommendation of Eric (untested)
      check that clock frequency is in range
        (1.9 - 5MHz - as per comment in clk-bcm2835.c)

I notice that the polling_delay is set to 0, but we're not
using
interrupts to trigger the trip.  Is it valid to expose a trip
without a
polling_delay or interrupts?  Should passive_delay be set as
well?

This is up to the thermal maintainers.  As far as I'm
concerned,
it's:

Acked-by: Eric Anholt <redacted>

One it lands I'll pull the defconfig and DT bits.

Ping on this question to thermal maintainers.  I'd still love to
see
this driver land.

hmmm, how is this driver supposed to work?
With this patch set, I think the only benefit is that we can get
the
temperature and trip point information via thermal sysfs interface,
but
kernel thermal control is a no-op here, right?

Yeah.  It seems useful to be able to get the information.  Once we
land
this, I hope someone can add interrupt support so that there are
actual
trip points.

sounds reasonable to me.
Another question, why you need a separate directory for a single
file, bcm2835_thermal.c?

Lots of other subsystems (clk, sound/soc, ...) are using vendor specific
sub directories.
In thermal there are already subdirectories for Samsung or st.
So this was done in this case as well to support Broadcom immediately
following this pattern.

You want a new version to keep it in thermal directly I can create a
new version of the patch.

Thanks, Martin
