Why to make chipset vendors define what to do in case of extreme
temperatures? I'd prefer a single implementation in ufshcd.c instead of
making each vendor come up with a different implementation.

Please do not add new vops without adding at least one implementation of
that vop.

Thanks,

Bart.

I think it should be either i.e. if a vendor specific implementation is
defined use that else use the generic implementation in ufshcd.
There may be a bunch of things that each vendor may need/want do
depending upon use-case, I imagine.

The storage device is merely acting as a temperature sensor.
This info, jointly with other temperature sensors of the system,
Should be used elsewhere in a much broader scope - probably by Android.
Either way, ufshcd is hardly the place for those decisions.

I agree, and this is why I wanted to allow that that flexibility.
But I get Bart's point. I will register the sensor in some subsystem.
It should allow the required degrees of freedom.
