Show all headers | View raw

Add details of the interface thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() and
thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister() in the thermal/sysfs-api.txt.

The details describes the functionality and parameter which
are passed to these interfaces.

+1.1.3 struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(
+		struct device *dev, int sensor_id, void *data,
+		const struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *ops)
+
+	This interface adds a new sensor to a DT thermal zone.
+	This function will search the list of thermal zones described in
+	device tree and look for the zone that refer to the sensor device
+	pointed by dev->of_node as temperature providers. For the zone
+	pointing to the sensor node, the sensor will be added to the DT
+	thermal zone device.
+
+	The parameters for this interface are:
+	dev:		Device node of sensor containing valid node pointer in
+			dev->of_node.
+	sensor_id:	a sensor identifier, in case the sensor IP has more
+			than one sensors
+	data:		a private pointer (owned by the caller) that will be
+			passed back, when a temperature reading is needed.
+	ops:		struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *.
+
+			get_temp:	a pointer to a function that reads the
+					sensor temperature. This is mandatory
+					callback provided by sensor driver.
+			get_trend: 	a pointer to a function that reads the
+					sensor temperature trend.
+			set_emul_temp:	a pointer to a function that sets
+					sensor emulated temperature.
+	The thermal zone temperature is provided by the get_temp() function
+	pointer of thermal_zone_of_device_ops. When called, it will
+	have the private pointer @data back.
+
+	It returns error pointer if fails otherwise valid thermal zone device
+	handle. Caller should check the return handle with IS_ERR() for finding
+	whether success or not.
+
+1.1.4 void thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
+		struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
+
+	This interface unregisters a sensor from a DT thermal zone which was
+	successfully added by interface thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().
+	This function removes the sensor callbacks and private data from the
+	thermal zone device registered with thermal_zone_of_sensor_register()
+	interface. It will also silent the zone by remove the .get_temp() and
+	get_trend() thermal zone device callbacks.
