14TMU controller Description:
15---------------------------
16
17This driver allows to read temperature inside Samsung Exynos4/5 series of SoC.
18
19The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value
20through a register.
21Temperature can be taken from the temperature code.
22There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code.
23
24The three equations are:
25  1. Two point trimming::
26
27	Tc = (T - 25) * (TI2 - TI1) / (85 - 25) + TI1
28
29  2. One point trimming::
30
31	Tc = T + TI1 - 25
32
33  3. No trimming::
34
35	Tc = T + 50
36
37  Tc:
38       Temperature code, T: Temperature,
39  TI1:
40       Trimming info for 25 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
41       Temperature code measured at 25 degree Celsius which is unchanged
42  TI2:
43       Trimming info for 85 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
44       Temperature code measured at 85 degree Celsius which is unchanged
45
46TMU(Thermal Management Unit) in Exynos4/5 generates interrupt
47when temperature exceeds pre-defined levels.
48The maximum number of configurable threshold is five.
49The threshold levels are defined as follows::
50
51  Level_0: current temperature > trigger_level_0 + threshold
52  Level_1: current temperature > trigger_level_1 + threshold
53  Level_2: current temperature > trigger_level_2 + threshold
54  Level_3: current temperature > trigger_level_3 + threshold
55
56The threshold and each trigger_level are set
57through the corresponding registers.
58
59When an interrupt occurs, this driver notify kernel thermal framework
60with the function exynos_report_trigger.
61Although an interrupt condition for level_0 can be set,
62it can be used to synchronize the cooling action.

65-----------------------

67The exynos thermal driver is structured as::
68
69					Kernel Core thermal framework
70				(thermal_core.c, step_wise.c, cpufreq_cooling.c)
71								^

74  TMU configuration data -----> TMU Driver  <----> Exynos Core thermal wrapper
75  (exynos_tmu_data.c)	      (exynos_tmu.c)	   (exynos_thermal_common.c)
76  (exynos_tmu_data.h)	      (exynos_tmu.h)	   (exynos_thermal_common.h)
77
78a) TMU configuration data:
79		This consist of TMU register offsets/bitfields
80		described through structure exynos_tmu_registers. Also several
81		other platform data (struct exynos_tmu_platform_data) members
82		are used to configure the TMU.
83b) TMU driver:
84		This component initialises the TMU controller and sets different
85		thresholds. It invokes core thermal implementation with the call
86		exynos_report_trigger.
87c) Exynos Core thermal wrapper:
88		This provides 3 wrapper function to use the
89		Kernel core thermal framework. They are exynos_unregister_thermal,
90		exynos_register_thermal and exynos_report_trigger.
