[PATCH v2 0/3] gov_power_allocator: Allow binding before cooling devices

From: Nikita Travkin via B4 Relay
Date: Wed Apr 03 2024 - 07:35:14 EST


Recent changes in IPA made it fail probing if the TZ has no cooling
devices attached on probe or no trip points defined.

This series restores prior behavior to:

- allow IPA to probe before cooling devices have attached;
- allow IPA to probe when the TZ has no passive/active trip points.

I've noticed that all thermal zones fail probing with -EINVAL on my
sc7180 based Acer Aspire 1 since 6.8. This series allows me to bring
them back.

Additionally there is a commit that supresses the "sustainable_power
will be estimated" warning on TZ that have no trip points (and thus IPA
will not be able to do anything for them anyway). This allowed me to
notice that some of the TZ with cooling_devices on my platform actually
lack the sustainable_power value.

Changes in v2:
- Split to two changes (Lukasz)
- Return 0 in allocate_actors_buffer() instead of suppressing -EINVAL
(Lukasz)
- Add a change to supress "sustainable_power will be estimated" warning
on "empty" TZ
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240321-gpa-no-cooling-devs-v1-1-5c9e0ef2062e@xxxxxxx
