      thermal: support forcing support for passive cooling · 03a971a2
      Matthew Garrett authored
      Due to poor thermal design or Linux driving hardware outside its thermal
      envelope, some systems will reach critical temperature and shut down
      under high load. This patch adds support for forcing a polling-based
      passive trip point if the firmware doesn't provide one. The assumption
      is made that the processor is the most practical means to reduce the
      dynamic heat generation, so hitting the passive thermal limit will cause
      the CPU to be throttled until the temperature stabalises around the
      defined value.
      
      UI is provided via a "passive" sysfs entry in the thermal zone
      directory. It accepts a decimal value in millidegrees celsius, or "0" to
      disable the functionality. Default behaviour is for this functionality
      to be disabled.
