[PATCH v1 1/7] thermal: core: Add mechanism for connecting trips with driver data

Rafael J. Wysocki

Some drivers need to update trip point data (temperature and/or
hysteresis) upon notifications from the platform firmware or they
may need to reprogram hardware when trip point parameters are changed
via sysfs. For those purposes, they need to connect struct thermal_trip
to a private data set associated with the trip or the other way around
and using a trip point index for that may not always work, because the
core may need to reorder the trips during thermal zone registration (in
particular, they may need to be sorted).

To allow that to be done without using a trip point index, introduce
a new field in struct thermal_trip that can be pointed by the driver
to its own data structure containing a trip pointer to be initialized
by the core during thermal zone registration. That pointer will then
have to be updated by the core every time the location of the given
trip point object in memory changes.
