By convention the trips points are declared in the ascending
temperature order. However, no specification for the device tree, ACPI
or documentation tells the trip points must be ordered this way.

In the other hand, we need those to be ordered to browse them at the
thermal events. But if we assume they are ordered and change the code
based on this assumption, any platform with shuffled trip points
description will be broken (if they exist).

Instead of taking the risk of breaking the existing platforms, use an
array of temperature ordered trip identifiers and make it available
for the code needing to browse the trip points in an ordered way.

What if they are all inspected every time?

Well, having ops->get_trip_temp() suggests that the trip temperatures
can be dynamic.  Is the ordering guaranteed to be preserved in that
case?

Anyway, if they need to be sorted, why don't we just sort them
properly instead of adding this extra array?

My bad, my sentence is confusing. The trip point are browsed every time 
and we need to have them ordered to detect correctly the thermal events.

The number of trips can not be changed. It is fixed when the thermal 
zone is created AFAICT. The get_trip_temp() is just a way to let the 
different driver declare their own trip structure which is actually 
something I'm trying to fix by moving the structure thermal_trip inside 
the thermal zone. But that is a longer and separate work.

We can not because ATM the trip points array is private to the different 
sensors.

I see.

So this mostly is a preparation for patch 4, isn't it?

The current code appears to assume that and I think that this is a
reasonable expectation.

Well, I'm not sure.

Trip point temperatures can be set via trip_point_temp_store() at
least in principle.  How is it guaranteed that this won't affect the
ordering?

Well, the core could create an array or list of trip points for the
thermal zone during registration and populate it from the
driver-provided data.  Then, it could be sorted at the creation time.

However, the above question needs to be addressed first.

Right, that is a good point. I don't see a logical use case where a trip 
point will be set below or above the previous or the next one, so the 
order should be kept. However, strictly speaking, nothing prevents that 
so I guess we need to reorder the trips when one is changed. It should 
be a one line call.

There won't be any benefit ATM. The get_trip_temp/type/hyst ops are 
called all over the place. If we create a second sorted trip point array 
and use it in the core code, then all those ops should be replaced to 
use the sorted array instead of addressing the private trip structure. A 
big deal in terms of changes.

If we don't do the ops changes, then it is simpler to have an array of 
index->trip id and the impact is small.

But I agree we should have a sorted trip array per thermal zone and stop 
using the ops->get_trip_temp|type|hyst. That is part of the work I'm 
doing in parallel to cleanup the thermal-of and I've the plan to migrate 
all the sensors to use the struct thermal_trip instead of private data. 
 From there we will be able to get rid of the get_trip[*] and the sorted 
trip indexes array.

All these changes are not feasible in the short term. I would like to 
keep the indexes trip array approach to fix the trip cross events which 
is broken right now and then go forward with the struct thermal_trip 
changes and the thermal-of cleanups I've sent last week.

Does it sound reasonable ?

Good.

Or modify trip_point_temp_store() to preserve the ordering of trip
points (which would be way simpler if trip point temperatures were
stored as numbers in a sorted array - see below).

What about less overhead?  And the code being easier to understand?
And no hidden assumptions?  Hmm??

Right.

It is not overwhelming in my view.

Well, what about making the core use struct thermal_trip internally in
the first place?

Except that I don't like the np member of that one.

They can be made in the opposite direction, starting at the core
level.  Then, it would be clear where you were going.

I'm not convinced about the need to make the code more complicated if
the overall direction is to simplify it.

I understand that you want to avoid regressing things, but you want to
make these changes eventually anyway, so why to you think that the
risk of regressing things would be smaller in the future, after making
the code more complicated than it is now?  Sounds counter-intuitive to
me.
