Hi all,

The patch set does some small clean up for Intelligent Power Allocator.
Those changes are not expected to alter the general functionality. They just
improve the code reading. Only patch 3/7 might improve the use case for
binding the governor to thermal zone (very unlikely in real products, but
it's needed for correctness).

The changes are based on top of current PM thermal branch, so with the
new trip points.

Regards,
Lukasz

The series looks good to me overall, but I'd prefer to make these
changes in the 6.8 cycle, because the 6.7 merge window is around the
corner and there is quite a bit of thermal material in this cycle
already.

Thanks for having a look! Yes, I agree, we can wait after the
merge window. It just have to be cleaned one day a bit and I postponed
this a few times, so no rush ;)

I've seen you've created the new pm/thermal. Could you consider to take
those in, please?

I would send some RFC on top showing the issue with reading back the CPU
max frequency from the PM_QoS chain.

Lukasz

Sure, I'll get to them presumably tomorrow and if not then early next week.

Sounds good.

I've queued up the whole lot for 6.8 and in the process I've edited
all of the changelogs and some subjects for clarity and English
grammar improvements.

Thanks!

Thank you and I really appreciate the improvements!
