Yes, some SMTP servers here are known to do that and I was using the
wrong one. Sorry for that, it should not happen again.

The reference numbers correspond not only to a particular processor
(e.g. Cortex-A15) but to specific SoCs, as the implementation
technology plays a key role in this. I'll see if we can share some
reference values for specific SoCs.

I understand your concern. I'm afraid the best I can say here is "ask
the SoC vendor".

I guess returning 0 and pr_warn() would be the best approach. There's
no point in propagating an error since the upper layers can't really
do anything about it (other than maybe the governor ignoring this
cooling device?).

I'll clarify it in the documentation.

Ok, I'll look into passing the time here.

> Same question applies to temperature.

The problem here is that the cpu cooling device does not know the
temperature of the processor. It may or may not be the temperature of
the thermal zone. The platform code is the best place to determine
the thermal zone whose sensor is closer to the processor and get its
temperature.

Alternatively, the thermal zone for the sensor that is closer to the
cpu could be passed when the cpu cooling device is registered and that
could be used to pass the cpu's temperature to the plat_get_static()
function. Do you prefer this approach?

By both parameters. If frequency increases, power increases. There's
no point in building a system that for lower frequencies you get
higher power consumption, right? It's the worst of both worlds.

It's in the documentation of the function. I can repeat it here if

Well, the short description in the first line reads "calculate the
dynamic power" and the return value is "the dynamic power consumed by
the cpus described by @cpufreq_device". There's really nothing more
that can be said about this function.

It doesn't because the description is "Return the current power
consumption of the cpus in milliwatts." Again, I don't see what else
can be said about these functions.

Ok, I'll add:

Return: the power consumption.

Sure, I'll update the documentation.

You are right, it makes the cpufreq cooling device API more
consistent. I'll make cpufreq_state2power() and cpufreq_power2state()
return 0 or error code and pass the power/state in a parameter.

Because below we do:

if (capacitance) {
cpufreq_cooling_ops.get_actual_power = cpufreq_get_actual_power;
cpufreq_cooling_ops.state2power = cpufreq_state2power;
cpufreq_cooling_ops.power2state = cpufreq_power2state;

I totally agree, but I was just trying to be consistent.
cpufreq_cooling_register() and cpufreq_cooling_unregister() have
kernel doc entries here and in cpu_cooling.c. I'm happy to send a
patch that removes the duplicated kernel doc for
cpufreq_cooling_register() and friends in include/linux/cpu_cooling.h
and drop the duplication from this patch as well.

Yes, I'll change it.

Thanks for reviewing a patch with such a horrible encoding,
