Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/3] thermal: bcm281xx: Add thermal driver

Hello Eduardo,

I have rebased my work on the top of yours and tried out the new way of 
registering the thermal zone.    The new method is certainly making 
things easier for me to create a new thermal zone device driver.  But I 
have some questions and I hope to hear back from you before I upload my 
new patch set that is based on your changes.

1. I found that the hwmon sysfs interface is no longer created when I 
call thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() to register my thermal sensor.  I 
believe it is because you purposely hard-coded 'no_hwmon' to true.   
Would it be possible to let the users to control this option as part of 
the sensor register function?

2. The of_thermal_get_temp() output parameter 'temp' is an unsigned 
value in order to conforms with the thermal framework 'get_temp' 
function prototype.  But the new sensor interface 'get_temp' callback 
function (defined in __thermal_zone struct) expects 'temp' to be 
signed.  So technically, a negative value can be returned from the 
underlying sensor function.  Should some checks be added to 
of_thermal_get_temp() to ensure that a negative value (i.e. a very large 
unsigned value) won't be passed back to the thermal framework?  Or 
should the 'get_temp' function prototype in __thermal_zone struct be 
changed with 'unsigned' temperature value and it will be the 
responsibility of the underlying function to do the check?

3. Your documentation (thermal.txt) seems to suggest that the 
'cooling-attachments' are one of the required properties for 
'thermal-zones' node in the device tree binding files.  However, I don't 
have any cooling device ready in my current patch series yet and 
therefore I tried to leave out the 'cooling-attachments' node from the 
'thermal-zones' node.  It seems to be working just find and I can 
register the sensor and read out the temperature once the target 
platform has been booted up.  Is this your expectation that people can 
leave the 'cooling-attachments' node out?    I want to make sure I can 
still submit a new patch set for this series with just the functionality 
of reading out the temperature from the thermal sensor.

Thanks,
-Wendy
