[PATCH] thermal: step_wise: set throttle target within thermal instance limits

[Andrew Bresticker]

When selecting a target cooling state in get_target_state(), make sure
that the state is at least as high as the minimum when the temperature
is rising and at least as low as the maximum when the temperature is
falling.  Previously the cooling level would only be incremented or
decremented by one in these cases.

In which situations cur_state will be out of the [lower;upper] 
boundaries? I mean at this point while temperature is rising, and we are 
rising the cooling level, we should be already above lower (and 
vice-versa). Can you please describe better the situation you are trying 
to cover/ that you have identified?

Suppose we hit a trip point which has bounds from 5 to 10, but
cur_state is 0 because there has previously been no thermal
throttling.  In that case, we would only go to level 1, even though
the thermal instance specifies we should be between 5 and 10.  This
patch would fix it so that we go directly to level 5 instead.

I will resend this with a more descriptive commit message.

[PATCH] thermal: step_wise: set throttle target within thermal instance limits

[Andrew Bresticker]

When selecting a target cooling state in get_target_state(), make sure
that the state is at least as high as the minimum when the temperature
is rising and at least as low as the maximum when the temperature is
falling.  This is necessary because, in the THREAML_TREND_RAISING and
THERMAL_TREND_DROPPING cases, the current state may only be incremented
or decremented by one even if it is outside the bounds of the thermal
instance.  This might occur, for example, if the CPU is heating up
and hits a thermal trip point for the first time when it's frequency
is much higher than the range specified by the thermal instance
corresponding to the trip point.
