a good catch, and in fact, there are more issues about thermal handling
for disabled thermal zones, like we're able to read the temperature of
disabled thermal zones, either via sysfs or via function calls like
thermal_zone_device_update.
For this patch, I will take it as it fixes one of the problem.

thanks,

Thanks Rui for following up. Yes, we noticed the same behavior. Right
now, individual thermal driver can still respect set_mode and present
value meaningful or return error when thermal zone disabled, and
that's what we do locally.
Currently, sysfs-api documents "Preventing kernel thermal zone driver
actions upon trip points so that user application can take full charge
of the thermal management.", so is it intended for some other agents
in kernel or user land polling temperature with function call or sysfs
respectively?

Thanks!

hmmm, here we have three cases,
1). we can read the temperature and we can take cooling actions.
2). we can read the temperature only
3). we can not read the temperature

we do have a case for 3), e.g. the wifi device, which registers a
thermal zone, but it does not work if wifi firmware is unloaded. And
IMO, we should set the thermal zone mode to disable for this case.

I'm not sure if there is any case for 2), but if we do, it seems to me
that we should set its governor to nop, rather then the way we're
describing in the sys-abi file.

we should fix the code and doc to use "mode" attribute to handle case
3) instead.

Agree.

Another thought of suspend/resume case is in mobile world, most of the
thermal zone sensors are interrupt capable and the linked cooling
devices are platform cooling devices whose states won't be affected
during suspend.  So resetting each thermal zone during suspend/resume
just wasted cycles/power on mobile due to re-setting trip threshold
again and again and also delays in device resume. I am proposing that
we have a flag in device tree per thermal zone to let thermal core not
reset during suspend/resume.

+1 noop sounds good. Do you have plan to change it?
