Kernel driver exynos_tmu
========================

TMU controller Description:
---------------------------

This driver allows to read temperature inside Samsung Exynos4/5 series of SoC.

The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value
through a register.
Temperature can be taken from the temperature code.
There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code.

The three equations are:
  1. Two point trimming::

	Tc = (T - 25) * (TI2 - TI1) / (85 - 25) + TI1

  2. One point trimming::

	Tc = T + TI1 - 25

  3. No trimming::

	Tc = T + 50

  Tc:
       Temperature code, T: Temperature,
  TI1:
       Trimming info for 25 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
       Temperature code measured at 25 degree Celsius which is unchanged
  TI2:
       Trimming info for 85 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register)
       Temperature code measured at 85 degree Celsius which is unchanged

TMU(Thermal Management Unit) in Exynos4/5 generates interrupt
when temperature exceeds pre-defined levels.
The maximum number of configurable threshold is five.
The threshold levels are defined as follows::

  Level_0: current temperature > trigger_level_0 + threshold
  Level_1: current temperature > trigger_level_1 + threshold
  Level_2: current temperature > trigger_level_2 + threshold
  Level_3: current temperature > trigger_level_3 + threshold

The threshold and each trigger_level are set
through the corresponding registers.

When an interrupt occurs, this driver notify kernel thermal framework
with the function exynos_report_trigger.
Although an interrupt condition for level_0 can be set,
it can be used to synchronize the cooling action.

The exynos thermal driver is structured as::
