I didn't see Javi's patchset before. Thanks for your information.
I reviewed ths Javi's patchset. Both Javi's patchset and my patchset
has same concept except for applying the power allocator thermal governor
as you below comment.
But, there are some difference.
First,
I don't add new devfreq API (devfreq_set_max() / devfreq_set_min()).
The my patchset used existing update_devfreq() to update the
maximum frequency of devfreq device.
Second,
In my patchset, the devfreq cooling device will be operated
as existing cpu cooling device. If sensor measure the overheating
temperature, devfreq cooling device will limit the maximum frequency
of devfreq device. As below example, the devicetree file includes
the overheating temperature information of each trip-point.
- Javi's patchset used the static power value calculated by
devfreq_cooling_gen_power_table() instead of temperature.
Third,
Javi's patchset used the same string of type when calling
the thermal_of_cooling_device_register()
- Javi's patchset used always the same "devfreq" string.
- My patchset used the different "thermal-devfreq-%d" string
according to each devfreq cooling device.
In my patchset, devfreq cooling device uses the same method
to determine the throttling situation as existing cpu cooling
device. It is just my opinion.
