description: |
Thermal management is achieved in devicetree by describing the sensor hardware
and the software abstraction of thermal zones required to take appropriate
action to mitigate thermal overloads.
The following node types are used to completely describe a thermal management
system in devicetree:
- thermal-sensor: device that measures temperature, has SoC-specific bindings
- cooling-device: device used to dissipate heat either passively or actively
- thermal-zones: a container of the following node types used to describe all
thermal data for the platform
This binding describes the thermal-sensor.
Thermal sensor devices provide temperature sensing capabilities on thermal
zones. Typical devices are I2C ADC converters and bandgaps. Thermal sensor
devices may control one or more internal sensors.

Used to uniquely identify a thermal sensor instance within an IC. Will be
0 on sensor nodes with only a single sensor and at least 1 on nodes
containing several internal sensors.

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `dt-bindings/interrupt-controller/arm-gic.h`.
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
