Hello Rui,
Here is V2 of temperature lookup helper function. This has been
split into two API as suggested on V1.
The usage of it is exemplified on patch 03.
Eduardo Valentin (3):
thermal: introduce thermal_zone_get_zone_by_name helper function
thermal: expose thermal_zone_get_temp API
staging: ti-soc-thermal: remove external heat while extrapolating
hotspot

This patch adds a helper function to get a reference of
a thermal zone, based on the zone type name.
It will perform a zone name lookup and return a reference
to a thermal zone device that matches the name requested.
In case the zone is not found or when several zones match
same name or if the required parameters are invalid, it will return
the corresponding error code (ERR_PTR).

This patch exports the thermal_zone_get_temp API so that driver
writers can fetch temperature of thermal zones managed by other
drivers.

For boards that provide a PCB sensor close to SoC junction
temperature, it is possible to remove the cumulative heat
reported by the SoC temperature sensor.
This patch changes the extrapolation computation to consider
an external sensor in the extrapolation equations.

I think we should differentiate between the two cases:
1. The zone does not exist at all
return NULL in this case
2. There are multiple zones
return ERR_PTR(-EEXIST) in this case
This way the calling function can figure out the exact reason
for failure.

I think the code documentation is already clear enough to say that this
is for unique matches. But in case you want to differentiate these
cases, I can resend it. Do you have a usage for this?
Besides, I would prefer to return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) in the first case.
The way it is in the original patch.

Yes, the calling function may want to re-try (or even unregister a zone,
to proceed further..)

Is the function name maybe a bit long? Perhaps using tz_ prefix
instead of "thermal_zone_" would help? or thermal_get_by_name? tz_get_by_name?

This patch follows the naming convention on this file. If we are going
to use different prefixes, then I suggest sending a patch that changes
the functions that are exported by this file. Besides the names you
suggested do not reflect exactly the purpose of the introduced API.
Thanks for your suggestion.
All best,
Thanks.
