[RFC PATCH v2 6/7] thermal: introduce the Power Allocator governor
From: Javi Merino
Date: Tue May 20 2014 - 10:12:47 EST
The power allocator governor is a thermal governor that controls system
and device power allocation to control temperature. Conceptually, the
implementation takes a system view of heat dissipation by managing
multiple heat sources.
This governor relies on power-aware cooling devices (power actors) to
operate. That is, cooling devices whose thermal_cooling_device_ops
accept THERMAL_UNIT_POWER.
It uses a Proportional Integral (PI) controller driven by the
temperature of the thermal zone. This budget is then allocated to
each cooling device that can have bearing on the temperature we are
trying to control. It decides how much power to give each cooling
device based on the performance they are requesting. The PI
controller ensures that the total power budget does not exceed the
control temperature.

+Integration of the power_allocator governor in a platform
+=========================================================
+
+Registering thermal_zone_device
+-------------------------------
+
+An estimate of the sustainable dissipatable power (in mW) should be
+provided while registering the thermal zone. This is the maximum
+sustained power for allocation at the desired maximum temperature.
+This number can vary for different conditions, but the closed-loop of
+the controller should take care of those variations, the
+`max_dissipatable_power` should be an estimation of it. Register your
+thermal zone with `thermal_zone_params` that have a
+`max_dissipatable_power`. If you weren't passing any
+`thermal_zone_params`, then something like this will do:
+
+ static const struct thermal_zone_params tz_params = {
+ .max_dissipatable_power = 3500,
+ };
+
+and then pass `tz_params` as the 5th parameter to
+`thermal_zone_device_register()`
+
+Trip points
+-----------
+
+The governor requires the following two trip points:
+
+1. "switch on" trip point: temperature above which the governor
+ control loop starts operating
+2. "desired temperature" trip point: it should be higher than the
+ "switch on" trip point. It is the target temperature the governor
+ is controlling for.
+
+The trip points can be either active or passive.
+
+Power actors
+------------
+
+Devices controlled by this governor must be registered with the power
+actor API. Read `power_actor.txt` for more information about them.
