This patch creates sensor level APIs, in the
generic thermal framework.

A Thermal sensor is a piece of hardware that can report
temperature of the spot in which it is placed. A thermal
sensor driver reads the temperature from this sensor
and reports it out. This kind of driver can be in
any subsystem. If the sensor needs to participate
in platform thermal management, the corresponding
driver can use the APIs introduced in this patch, to
register(or unregister) with the thermal framework.

this is a little confusing.
I'd prefer
thermal_sensor_sysfs_add() and create sensor_name and temp_input
attribute in this function as well, and thermal_sensor_sysfs_remove()
to remove the sysfs I/F.
And further more, we can do this for thermal zones and cooling devices.

others look okay to me.

thanks,
rui

At first glance, patch seams reasonable. But I have one major concern as 
follows inline, apart from several minor comments.

I'd rather check if it returns 1.

 From your probe, you won't check for devices registered with 
ops.get_hyst == NULL. This may lead to a NULL pointer access above.

snprintf.

One may be careful with the above functions. Userland having control on 
these properties may lead to spurious events, depending on the 
programming sequence / value changing order. I believe, it would be 
wiser to disable the interrupt generation prior to changing the thresholds.

I know there are people who is in favor of having the thermal policy 
controlled in userland.
Depending on which thermal zone we are talking about, I'd even consider 
it a valid approach.
On the other hand there are thermal zones that controls silicon junction 
temperature which
does not depend on any input from userland (like which kind of use case 
one may be running).


That said, I believe we may want to segregate which sensors we want to 
expose the write access
from userspace to their hyst and threshold values. Exposing all of them 
may lead to easy security leak.

if ops.get_hyst is NULL, we don't even create these sysfs interfaces.
This check is in enable_sensor_thresholds function.

It checks for ops.get_threshold, but not for the setter method.
Will take of that in next version.

Valid case. We call set_threshold from the framework layer, and leave it to the
sensor driver to take care of rest of the things.

If the sensor driver does not want this hysteresis to be writeable,
it can provide a NULL pointer in ops.set_hyst. 

Most of sprintf, strcpy I used them for consistency, as rest of the
framework code is already using these APIs.
We can do a separate clean up patch for these functions, IMHO.

That said, I also get hurt by static checkers on these :-)So, I agree with
you that these should be fixed, but not in this series.

Thanks,
Durga
