title: Thermal cooling device binding

description: |
Thermal management is achieved in devicetree by describing the sensor hardware
and the software abstraction of cooling devices and thermal zones required to
take appropriate action to mitigate thermal overload.
The following node types are used to completely describe a thermal management
system in devicetree:
- thermal-sensor: device that measures temperature, has SoC-specific bindings
- cooling-device: device used to dissipate heat either passively or actively
- thermal-zones: a container of the following node types used to describe all
thermal data for the platform
This binding describes the cooling devices.
There are essentially two ways to provide control on power dissipation:
- Passive cooling: by means of regulating device performance. A typical
passive cooling mechanism is a CPU that has dynamic voltage and frequency
scaling (DVFS), and uses lower frequencies as cooling states.
- Active cooling: by means of activating devices in order to remove the
dissipated heat, e.g. regulating fan speeds.
Any cooling device has a range of cooling states (i.e. different levels of
heat dissipation). They also have a way to determine the state of cooling in
which the device is. For example, a fan's cooling states correspond to the
different fan speeds possible. Cooling states are referred to by single
unsigned integers, where larger numbers mean greater heat dissipation. The
precise set of cooling states associated with a device should be defined in
a particular device's binding.
