[RFC][PATCH] thermal: add sysfs_notify on some attributes

Show all headers | View raw

Add a sysfs_notify on thermal_zone*/temp and cooling_device*/
cur_state whenever a passive or critical trip is triggered.

This change allows usermode apps to register itself to get notified,
when certain thermal conditions occur and reduce their workload.
This workload throttling can reduce\prevent throttling of hardware
clocks while allowing some other critical apps to run longer reliably.
