[PATCH v3 5/6] thermal: core: Allocate thermal_class statically
From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Mon Apr 06 2026 - 12:20:33 EST
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Define thermal_class as a static structure to simplify thermal_init()
and to simplify thermal class availability checks that will need to
be carried out during the suspend and resume of thermal zones after
subsequent changes.
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

v2 -> v3:
* Use static variable thermal_class_unavailable (instead of a function)
for checking if thermal_class is available.
v1 -> v2:
* Reorder with respect to the next patch to allow the latter to be simpler
* Add thermal_class_unavailable() (the next patch uses it too)
