Subject: [PATCH v3 5/6] thermal: core: Allocate thermal_class statically
Date: Mon, 06 Apr 2026 18:14:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <23090660.EfDdHjke4D@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <5119690.31r3eYUQgx@rafael.j.wysocki>
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Define thermal_class as a static structure to simplify thermal_init()
and to simplify thermal class availability checks that will need to
be carried out during the suspend and resume of thermal zones after
subsequent changes.
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

v2 -> v3:
* Use static variable thermal_class_unavailable (instead of a function)
for checking if thermal_class is available.
v1 -> v2:
* Reorder with respect to the next patch to allow the latter to be simpler
* Add thermal_class_unavailable() (the next patch uses it too)
