PATCH v2 1/1 drivers: thermal: tsens: respect thermal_device_mode in threshold irq reporting

'echo disabled > .../thermal_zoneX/mode' will disable the thermal core's polling mechanism to check for threshold trips. This is used sometimes to run performance test cases.

However, tsens supports an interrupt mechanism to receive notification of trips, implemented in commit 634e11d5b450 ("drivers: thermal: tsens: Add interrupt support").

Currently the thermal zone mode that's set by userspace is not checked before propagating threshold trip events from IRQs. Let's fix this to restore the abilty to disable thermal throttling at runtime.

====================

Tested on MSM8939 running 5.16.0. This platform has 8 cores; the first four thermal zones control cpu0-3 and the last zone is for the other four CPUs together.

for f in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*; do
echo "disabled" > $f/mode
echo $f | paste - $f/type $f/mode
done

/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0 cpu0-thermal disabled

/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2 cpu2-thermal disabled
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone3 cpu3-thermal disabled
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4 cpu4567-thermal disabled

With mitigation thresholds at 75 degC and load running, we can now cruise past temp=75000 without CPU throttling kicking in.

Didn't spot the v2 before replying to v1, still looks good :)

Hmm. I don't like the fact that these messages won't be visible to users in dmesg unless they're debugging. This change puts the SoC in a potentially unsafe state. Perhaps we should print a ratelimited message in the logs that we're operating outside safety limits?

That seems fine, I'll change to dev_info_ratelimited and make the message a bit scarier.
