10 | 0. Introduction | |
11 | ||
12 | The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping) provides registration/unregistration APIs | |
13 | to the caller. The binding of the cooling devices to the trip point is left for | |
14 | the user. The registration APIs returns the cooling device pointer. | |
15 | ||
16 | 1. cpu cooling APIs | |
17 | ||
18 | 1.1 cpufreq registration/unregistration APIs | |
19 | 1.1.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register( | |
20 | struct cpumask *clip_cpus) | |
21 | ||
22 | This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with the name | |
23 | "thermal-cpufreq-%x". This api can support multiple instances of cpufreq | |
24 | cooling devices. | |
25 | ||
26 | clip_cpus: cpumask of cpus where the frequency constraints will happen. | |
27 | ||
28 | 1.1.2 void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev) | |
29 | ||
30 | This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpufreq-%x" cooling device. | |
31 | ||
32 | cdev: Cooling device pointer which has to be unregistered. |
