0. Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping) provides registration/unregistration APIs
|
||
|
|
to the caller. The binding of the cooling devices to the trip point is left for
|
||
|
|
the user. The registration APIs returns the cooling device pointer.

1. cpu cooling APIs

|
|
||
|
|
1.1 cpufreq registration/unregistration APIs
|
||
|
|
1.1.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register(
|
||
|
|
struct cpumask *clip_cpus)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with the name
|
||
|
|
"thermal-cpufreq-%x". This api can support multiple instances of cpufreq
|
||
|
|
cooling devices.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
clip_cpus: cpumask of cpus where the frequency constraints will happen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1.1.2 void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpufreq-%x" cooling device.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cdev: Cooling device pointer which has to be unregistered.
