[RFC-help needed 0/3] ARM: dts: thermal: Fix Odroid XU3-Lite overheat

[k.kozlowski@samsung.com (Krzysztof Kozlowski)]

Hi,

I mentioned overheating problem of Odroid XU3-Lite after enabling
cpufreq-dt (when busy in a quite warm room). [0]

The patchset tries to fix this by adding CPU cooling device.
Unfortunately apparently I screwed something because on next-20160216
it does not help.

The fan works at full but CPU cooler is not enabled.

Patchset adds 2 additional trip points (so total 5). First 3 trip
points enable the fan. The new two trip points should trigger CPU
cooler.

However after reaching last fan trip point, the thermal zone stops
sending updates to the step-wise governor.
The last log for thermal_zone0 is:

[ 1366.604997] thermal cooling_device2: old_target=-1, target=-1

After this, the temperature in zone0 rises but cooling devices do not
receive any pokes...

Did I make some mistake or this is thermal issue?
