Subject: [PATCH v2] thermal: tegra-bpmp: Handle offline zones

From: Mikko Perttunen <[email protected]>

Thermal zones located in power domains may not be accessible when
the domain is powergated. In this situation, reading the temperature
will return -BPMP_EFAULT. When evaluating trips, BPMP will internally
use -256C as the temperature for offline zones.

For smooth operation, for offline zones, return -EAGAIN when reading
the temperature and allow registration of zones even if they are
offline during probe.

I think it makes more sense to check if the power domain associated with
the device is powered up and if not return -EPROBE_DEFER.

The power domains in question are related to computer vision engines
that only get powered on when in use, possibly never if the user doesn't
run a computer vision workload on the system. We still want other
thermal zones to be available.

Ok, I see the point.

I'm worried about the semantic of the errors returned, the translation
from BPMP_EFAULT to EAGAIN and the assumption it is a disabled (may be
forever) thermal zone.

What does the documentation say for the error msg.rx.ret == -BPMP_EFAULT?

The documentation says

Value | Description
-------------- | -----------------------------------------
0 | Temperature query succeeded.
-#BPMP_EINVAL | Invalid request parameters.
-#BPMP_ENOENT | No driver registered for thermal zone.
-#BPMP_EFAULT | Problem reading temperature measurement.

In practice, what BPMP_EFAULT means here is that the hardware has no
indicated temperature for the zone, which really only happens if the
power domain is powered off.
