Merge branch 'next' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux
Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
"Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the
last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested
in linux-next tree for a few days. Now the buggy patch has been
dropped entirely from my next branch. Thus I hope those changes can
still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal
driver changes.
Specifics:
- introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers.
Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other
devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the
OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects. Several drivers are
introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling
ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal
framework.
From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui.
- introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to
switch abruptly on/off a cooling device. This governor can be used
to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just
switched on or off. From: Peter Feuerer.
- introduce support for some new thermal interrupt functions on
i.MX6SX, in IMX thermal driver. From: Anson, Huang.
- introduce tracing support on thermal framework. From: Punit
Agrawal.
- small fixes in OF thermal and thermal step_wise governor"
