[PATCH v1 3/6] thermal: thermal-core: Add notifications support for the cooling states

Amit Daniel Kachhap
2014-05-29T08:15:31Z

This patch adds notification infrastructure for any requests related to cooling
states. The notifier structure passed is of both Get/Set type. So the receiver
of these can sense the new/cur/max cooling state as decided by thermal governor.
In addition to that it can also override the cooling state and may do something
interesting after receiving these CPU cooling events such as masking some
states, enabling some extra conditional states or perform any extra operation
for aggressive thermal cooling.
The notfications events can be of type,

1. COOLING_SET_STATE_PRE
2. COOLING_SET_STATE_POST
3. COOLING_GET_CUR_STATE
4. COOLING_GET_MAX_STATE
