I see, so there are three logics to decide the polling frequency

1. returned by _TZP, according to ACPI spec
2. overridden by thermal.tzp module parameter
3. cleared when the thermal zone is disabled and restored when the
thermal zone is re-enabled (missing in current code)

what we are doing in this patch is to introduce the third logic, and
move all the code of 1, 2 and 3 into
acpi_thermal_get_polling_frequency().
To align with this change, tz->tz_enable=1 is moved earlier, before
acpi_thermal_get_polling_frequency() being invoked in
acpi_thermal_add().
right?

To me, this policy, "disabling polling when disabling thermal zone,
enabling polling after enabling thermal zone" applies to all the
thermal zones, thus it's better to be implemented in thermal subsystem,
rather than ACPI thermal driver.

BTW, two other comments about the code itself,
1. I don't like the way how tz->polling_delay/tz->passive_delay are
changed here. If we have to do this, better using a thermal API, and we
should invoke monitor_thermal_zone() right after updating these two
fields.
2. passive_delay is set to wrong value here.
