+Kernel driver exynos_tmu
+=================
+
+Supported chips:
+* ARM SAMSUNG EXYNOS4, EXYNOS5 series of SoC
+ Datasheet: Not publicly available

+
+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.
+
+TMU driver description:
+-----------------------
+
+The exynos thermal driver is structured as,
+
+ Kernel Core thermal framework
+ (thermal_core.c, step_wise.c, cpu_cooling.c)

+a) TMU configuration data: This consist of TMU register offsets/bitfields

+b) TMU driver: This component initialises the TMU controller and sets different
+ thresholds. It invokes core thermal implementation with the call
+ exynos_report_trigger.
+c) Exynos Core thermal wrapper: This provides 3 wrapper function to use the
+ Kernel core thermal framework. They are exynos_unregister_thermal,
+ exynos_register_thermal and exynos_report_trigger.

+EXYNOS EMULATION MODE
+========================
+
+Copyright (C) 2012 Samsung Electronics

+Written by Jonghwa Lee <jonghwa3.lee@samsung.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+Exynos 4x12 (4212, 4412) and 5 series provide emulation mode for thermal management unit.
+Thermal emulation mode supports software debug for TMU's operation. User can set temperature
+manually with software code and TMU will read current temperature from user value not from
+sensor's value.
+
+Enabling CONFIG_THERMAL_EMULATION option will make this support available.
+When it's enabled, sysfs node will be created as
+/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone'zone id'/emul_temp.
+
+The sysfs node, 'emul_node', will contain value 0 for the initial state. When you input any
+temperature you want to update to sysfs node, it automatically enable emulation mode and
+current temperature will be changed into it.
+(Exynos also supports user changeable delay time which would be used to delay of
+ changing temperature. However, this node only uses same delay of real sensing time, 938us.)
+
+Exynos emulation mode requires synchronous of value changing and enabling. It means when you
+want to update the any value of delay or next temperature, then you have to enable emulation
+mode at the same time. (Or you have to keep the mode enabling.) If you don't, it fails to
+change the value to updated one and just use last succeessful value repeatedly. That's why
+this node gives users the right to change termerpature only. Just one interface makes it more
+simply to use.
+
+Disabling emulation mode only requires writing value 0 to sysfs node.
