+description: |
+ Thermal management is achieved in devicetree by describing the sensor hardware
+ and the software abstraction of cooling devices and thermal zones required to
+ take appropriate action to mitigate thermal overload.
+
+ The following node types are used to completely describe a thermal management
+ system in devicetree:
+ - thermal-sensor: device that measures temperature, has SoC-specific bindings
+ - cooling-device: device used to dissipate heat either passively or actively
+ - thermal-zones: a container of the following node types used to describe all
+ thermal data for the platform
+
+ This binding describes the cooling devices.
+
+ There are essentially two ways to provide control on power dissipation:
+ - Passive cooling: by means of regulating device performance. A typical
+ passive cooling mechanism is a CPU that has dynamic voltage and frequency
+ scaling (DVFS), and uses lower frequencies as cooling states.
+ - Active cooling: by means of activating devices in order to remove the
+ dissipated heat, e.g. regulating fan speeds.
+
+ Any cooling device has a range of cooling states (i.e. different levels of
+ heat dissipation). They also have a way to determine the state of cooling in
+ which the device is. For example, a fan's cooling states correspond to the
+ different fan speeds possible. Cooling states are referred to by single
+ unsigned integers, where larger numbers mean greater heat dissipation. The
+ precise set of cooling states associated with a device should be defined in
+ a particular device's binding.
