On rk3288 the CPU and GPU temperatures are correlated. Limit the GPU
frequency on veyron mickey to 300 MHz for CPU temperatures >= 85°C.

This matches the configuration of the downstream Chrome OS 3.14 kernel,
the 'official' kernel for mickey.

Two things:

A) If I'm reading things properly, you're actually limiting things to
400 MHz.  This is because you don't have <https://crrev.com/c/1574579>
which deletes the 500 MHz GPU operating point.  So on upstream the
available points are:

0: 600 MHz
1: 500 MHz
2: 400 MHz
3: 300 MHz
4: 200 MHz
5: 100 MHz

...and downstream:

0: 600 MHz
1: 400 MHz
2: 300 MHz
3: 200 MHz
4: 100 MHz

Thinking about it more, I bet Heiko would actually be OK deleting the
500 MHz GPU operating point for veyron.  Technically it's not needed
upstream because upstream doesn't have our hacks to allow re-purposing
NPLL for HDMI (so they _can_ make 500 MHz) but maybe we can make the
argument that these laptops have only ever been tested with the 500
MHz operating point removed and also that eventually someonje will
probably figure out a way to re-purpose NPLL for HDMI even upstream...


B) It seems like in the same patch you'd want to introduce
"cpu_warm_limit_gpu", AKA:

cpu_warm_limit_gpu {
  trip = <&cpu_alert_warm>;
  cooling-device =
  <&gpu 1 1>;
};

Yeah. Dropping the opp sounds sensible ... for the npll-related thing
and also if you're really running into thermal constraints it might be
good to give the system a bit more breathing room?

Thanks spotting this!

Looks like Heiko is indeed ok with it, so let's remove the OPP and be
in sync with downstream on this.

Makes sense to do it in the same patch, will add it in v2.
