PATCH 1/4 dt-bindings: thermal-zones: Document critical-action

From: Fabio Estevam <[email protected]>

Document the critical-action property to describe the thermal action that will be taken after the critical temperature is reached.

The possible values are:

- 0 for shutdown
- 1 for reboot.

PATCH 3/4 reboot: Introduce hw_protection_reboot()

In reply to Fabio Estevam

From: Fabio Estevam <[email protected]>

Introduce hw_protection_reboot() to trigger an emergency reboot.

It is a counterpart of hw_protection_shutdown() with the difference that it will force a reboot instead of shutdown.

The motivation for doing this is to allow the thermal subystem to trigger a reboot when the temperature reaches the critical temperature.

PATCH 4/4 thermal: thermal_core: Allow rebooting after critical temp

In reply to Fabio Estevam

From: Fabio Estevam <[email protected]>

Currently, the default mechanism is to trigger a shutdown after the critical temperature is reached.

In some embedded cases, such behavior does not suit well, as the board may be unattended in the field and rebooting may be a better approach.

The bootloader may also check the temperature and only allow the boot to proceed when the temperature is below a certain threshold.

Introduce support for allowing a reboot to be triggered after the critical temperature is reached.

If the "critical-action" devicetree property is not found, fall back to the shutdown action to preserve the existing default behavior.

Tested on a i.MX8MM board with the following devicetre changes:

	thermal-zones {
		cpu-thermal {
			critical-action = <THERMAL_CRITICAL_ACTION_REBOOT>;
		};
	};
