Subject[PATCH 3/3] thermal: max77620: Add thermal driver for reporting junction temp
Message-ID<r8YqS-7AF-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
Maxim Semiconductor Max77620 supports alarm interrupts when
its die temperature crosses 120C and 140C. These threshold
temperatures are not configurable.

Add thermal driver to register PMIC die temperature as thermal
zone sensor and capture the die temperature warning interrupts
to notifying the client.

Oops, Second one is MAX77620_TJALARM2_TEMP.
Will send other version once I will have some more feedback.

Hello Laxman,

Thanks for working on this. Impressed how simplified these drivers are
becoming. I really liked you added the so waited devm_ helpers. Very
minor comments as follows (now that you will send a new version anyway).

Are any of these critical?

Given that it is a DT based driver, please add also a binding entry
under Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/

Somehow checkpatch.pl --strict is complaining about this entry. Can you
please check?

Datasheet says that two alarm interrupt at 120 and 140degC. 165 degC is 
shutdown temp on which PMIC get shutdown.
So just says as the warning interrupt.

There is no new DT property and so did not added. But will add the doc 
saying the mandatory properties from thermal framework i.e. 
#thermal-sensor-cells

The help should be minimum 4 lines otherwise warning is generated. I 
made it for next patch.

Second warning is:
/**
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#57:
new file mode 100644

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 174 lines checked

0001-thermal-max77620-Add-thermal-driver-for-reporting-ju.patch has 
style problems, please review.
**/

This is because new file get added and I think we can ignore it.

yaah, there is no way other than getting the bit for whether temp 
crossed threshold or not.

This driver is sub mfd devices and it is registered without device node 
pointer.
The DT binding doc for the mfdmax77620 is flat, does not have thermal 
sub node.

hence to get the of_node for sensor, I am making the device node as node 
pointer for thermal sensor.
I can overwrite as
  pdev->dev.of_node = pdev->dev.parent->of_node also without check for 
simplification.
