[PATCH v6 5/9] arm64: dts: qcom: kodiak: Enable CDSP & Modem cooling

From: Gaurav Kohli

Date: Mon Jul 27 2026 - 10:39:41 EST


Unlike the CPU, the CDSP/Modem does not throttle its speed automatically
when it reaches high temperatures in kodiak.

Set up CDSP cooling by throttling the cdsp when it reaches 100°C and
for modem when it reaches to 95°C.

Add polling-delay-passive so the governor periodically evaluates
the zone during passive cooling and steps up cooling levels when
temperature stabilizes below the next trip.

Since the remoteproc_mpss node doesn't exist on non modem boards, the
cooling-maps that reference it cause DT compilation errors. To fix that
remove inherited mdmss cooling-map nodes.
