[PATCH v3 0/3] thermal: introduce by-name softlink

From: Wei Wang
Date: Thu Dec 05 2019 - 02:20:22 EST


The paths thermal_zone%d and cooling_device%d are not intuitive and the
numbers are subject to change due to device tree change. This usually
leads to tree traversal in userspace code.
The patch creates `tz-by-name' and `cdev-by-name' for thermal zone and
cooling_device respectively.


Changes since v1 [1]:
* Split cooling device registration into a seperate patch
Changes since v2 [2]:
* Split improve error message in thermal zone registration

[1]: v1: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1139450/
[2]: v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/4/1291

Wei Wang (3):
thermal: prevent cooling device with no type to be registered
thermal: improve error message in thermal zone registration
thermal: create softlink by name for thermal_zone and cooling_device
