+The exynos thermal driver is structured as,

+a) TMU configuration data: This consist of TMU register offsets/bitfields
+		described through structure exynos_tmu_registers. Also several
+		other platform data (struct exynos_tmu_platform_data) members
+		are used to configure the TMU.
+b) TMU driver: This component initialises the TMU controller and sets different
+		thresholds. It invokes core thermal implementation with the call
+		exynos_report_trigger.
+c) Exynos Core thermal wrapper: This provides 3 wrapper function to use the
+		Kernel core thermal framework. They are exynos_unregister_thermal,
+		exynos_register_thermal and exynos_report_trigger.
