The old verification is ensure that tz and cdev already add to
thermal_tz_list and thermal_cdev_list,respectively.
Namely, tz and cdev are definitely registered and intialized.
The check is ok for all untizalized thermal_zone_device and cooling
device.
But the new verification doesn't seem to do that.
If the tz or the cdev are registered then their "->node" is not
empty because they are linked with the thermal_list and cdev_list
So either way is browsing the lists to find the tz/cdev or just
check "->node" is not empty. The latter the faster.
Assume that tz/cdev isn't intiazlized and registered to
thermal_tz_list or thermal_cdev_list. And then directly call this
interface.
Then there is a bug in the internal code because the
thermal_zone_device_register*() and cooling_device_device_register()
allocate and initialize those structures.
The caller of the function is supposed to use the API provided by the
thermal framework. It is not possible to plan every stupid things a
driver can do. In this particular case, very likely the kernel will
crash immediately which is a sufficient test for me and coercive
enough to have the API user to put its code in question ;)
A good point. Agree.
