mlxsw: core_thermal: Use static trip points for transceiver modules
The driver registers a thermal zone for each transceiver module and tries to set the trip point temperatures according to the thresholds read from the transceiver. If a threshold cannot be read or if a transceiver is unplugged, the trip point temperature is set to zero, which means that it is disabled as far as the thermal subsystem is concerned. A recent change in the thermal core made it so that such trip points are no longer marked as disabled, which lead the thermal subsystem to incorrectly set the associated cooling devices to the their maximum state [1]. A fix to restore this behavior was merged in commit f1b80a38 ("thermal: core: Restore behavior regarding invalid trip points"). However, the thermal maintainer suggested to not rely on this behavior and instead always register a valid array of trip points [2]. Therefore, create a static array of trip points with sane defaults (suggested by Vadim) and register it with the thermal zone of each transceiver module. User space can choose to override these defaults using the thermal zone sysfs interface since these files are writeable. Before: $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone11/type mlxsw-module11 $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone11/trip_point_*_temp 65000 75000 80000 After: $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone11/type mlxsw-module11 $ cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone11/trip_point_*_temp 55000 65000 80000 Also tested by reverting commit f1b80a38 ("thermal: core: Restore behavior regarding invalid trip points") and making sure that the associated cooling devices are not set to their maximum state.
