Kernel driver exynos_tmu ================= Supported chips: * ARM SAMSUNG EXYNOS4, EXYNOS5 series of SoC Datasheet: Not publicly available Authors: Donggeun Kim Authors: Amit Daniel TMU controller Description: --------------------------- This driver allows to read temperature inside SAMSUNG EXYNOS4/5 series of SoC. The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value through a register. Temperature can be taken from the temperature code. There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code. The three equations are: 1. Two point trimming Tc = (T - 25) * (TI2 - TI1) / (85 - 25) + TI1 2. One point trimming Tc = T + TI1 - 25 3. No trimming Tc = T + 50 Tc: Temperature code, T: Temperature, TI1: Trimming info for 25 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register) Temperature code measured at 25 degree Celsius which is unchanged TI2: Trimming info for 85 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register) Temperature code measured at 85 degree Celsius which is unchanged TMU(Thermal Management Unit) in EXYNOS4/5 generates interrupt when temperature exceeds pre-defined levels. The maximum number of configurable threshold is five. The threshold levels are defined as follows: Level_0: current temperature > trigger_level_0 + threshold Level_1: current temperature > trigger_level_1 + threshold Level_2: current temperature > trigger_level_2 + threshold Level_3: current temperature > trigger_level_3 + threshold The threshold and each trigger_level are set through the corresponding registers. When an interrupt occurs, this driver notify kernel thermal framework with the function exynos_report_trigger. Although an interrupt condition for level_0 can be set, it can be used to synchronize the cooling action. TMU driver description: ----------------------- The exynos thermal driver is structured as, Kernel Core thermal framework (thermal_core.c, step_wise.c, cpu_cooling.c) ^ | | TMU configuration data -------> TMU Driver <------> Exynos Core thermal wrapper (exynos_tmu_data.c) (exynos_tmu.c) (exynos_thermal_common.c) (exynos_tmu_data.h) (exynos_tmu.h) (exynos_thermal_common.h) a) TMU configuration data: This consist of TMU register offsets/bitfields described through structure exynos_tmu_registers. Also several other platform data (struct exynos_tmu_platform_data) members are used to configure the TMU. b) TMU driver: This component initialises the TMU controller and sets different thresholds. It invokes core thermal implementation with the call exynos_report_trigger. c) Exynos Core thermal wrapper: This provides 3 wrapper function to use the Kernel core thermal framework. They are exynos_unregister_thermal, exynos_register_thermal and exynos_report_trigger.
