[PATCH v1] thermal: imx: Update critical temp threshold

[PATCH v1] thermal: imx: Update critical temp threshold

[Francesco Dolcini]

Increase the critical temperature threshold to the datasheet defined
value according to the temperature grade of the SoC, increasing the
actual critical temperature value of 5 degrees.

Without this change the emergency shutdown will trigger earlier then
required affecting applications that are expected to be working on this
close to the limit, but yet valid, temperature range.

Not sure if there is an alternative to this patch, the critical threshold seems
to be read-only and it is not possible to just change it from user space that
would be my preferred solution.

According to the original discussion [1] the reasoning was the following:

But I do not understand it.

Just one small addition, we (Toradex) are using this modified critical
threshold since quite some time, on multiple i.MX[67]* SOC, and we
regularly run stress tests on commercial/IT part on the whole
temperature working range (ambient temperature up to 85 degrees for IT
modules) in climate chambers and I'm not aware of any issue reported
because of that (indeed, it is the other way around, without this change
we had issues).

That is really an overall system design issue. Most chips will probably
work fine when going over the critical temperature, as this is mostly
set due to device lifetime constraints, not because the chip fails at
this temperature. However the chip is only guaranteed to work at up to
the critical temperature, so one could argue that starting a orderly
shutdown when the critical temperature is reached is already too late,
as the temperature may rise further during the time taken to shut down
the system. Also device leakage increases a lot at those critical
temperatures, so the system may fail not because the chip is
malfunctioning, but the board power supply may not be able to supply
the increased current required.

Really I think there is no right or wrong here. I believe that this
needs to be up to the system integrator, so the critical temperature
should be writable by userspace in the constraints set by the fuses.

Lucas

I agree 95% with you. The 5% I do not agree is that the final system
integrator should be allowed to go even above the fuses constraints.
Sometime is better to take the chance of burning a chip than shutting
the system down.

Anyway, would it be fine to have a patch that make the critical
threshold write-able (in my initial message I mentioned this as my
preferred solution also)? If anybody has a pointer on how
to do it, it would be great, I'm not familiar with that code.

What about a module param ?

I would be happy to just be able to write to the `critical`
trip_point_temp file in sysfs, however the thermal
framework seems to enforce the critical threshold being read only (only
`get_trip_temp` callback available). Is there any way to change this? 

# cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_type
critical
# ls -l /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_temp
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 May  6 14:33 /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_temp

No, critical trip point is not a system setting but a hardware setting.

It should be set via the DT or a module parameter.
