Subject: [PATCH 12/13] Thermal: Add documentation for platform layer data
Date: Thu,  9 Aug 2012 18:16:04 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344516365-7230-13-git-send-email-durgadoss.r@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1344516365-7230-1-git-send-email-durgadoss.r@intel.com>

This patch adds documentation for the structure
thermal_zone_params, and also shows an example of
how to populate them.

+1.4 Thermal Zone Parameters
+1.4.1 struct thermal_zone_params
+    This structure defines the platform level parameters for a thermal zone.
+    This data, for each thermal zone should come from the platform layer.
+    This is an optional feature where some platforms can choose not to
+    provide this data.
+1.4.2 struct thermal_zone_params attributes
+    .thermal_zone_name: Name of the thermal zone, for which these parameters
+			are being defined.
+    .num_cdevs: Number of cooling devices associated with this
+			  thermal zone.
+    .cdevs_name: Names of the cooling devices associated with this
+			   thermal zone.
+    .weights: This parameter defines the 'influence' of a particular cooling
+	      device on this thermal zone, on a percentage scale. The sum of
+	      all these weights cannot exceed 100. The order of values in
+	      this array should match with that of the cdevs_name.
+    .trip_mask: This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
+		this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
+		If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound
+		for trip point n.
