Hey Amit, I was able to use your code on an i.MX6Q thermal implementation and it seemed to work pretty well.  Thanks for adding this.  A couple of comments below.

Thanks for testing and reviewing the code.

This patch adds support for generic cpu thermal cooling low level implementations using frequency scaling and cpuhotplugg currently. Different cpu related cooling devices can be registered by the user and the binding of these cooling devices to the corresponding trip points can be easily done as the registration API's return the cooling device pointer.

+0. Introduction

+The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping, cpuhotplug) provides +registration/unregistration api's to the user. The binding of the cooling +devices to the trip types is left for the user. The registration api's returns +the cooling device pointer.

+1. cpufreq cooling api's

+1.1 cpufreq registration api's +1.1.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register(

• struct freq_pctg_table *tab_ptr, unsigned int tab_size,
• const struct cpumask *mask_val)
• This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with the name
• "thermal-cpufreq".
• tab_ptr: The table containing the percentage of frequency to be clipped for
• each cooling state.
• .freq_clip_pctg[NR_CPUS]:Percentage of frequency to be clipped for each
• cpu.
• .polling_interval: polling interval for this cooling state.
• tab_size: the total number of cooling state.
• mask_val: all the allowed cpu's where frequency clipping can happen.

+1.1.2 void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(void)

• This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpufreq" cooling device.

+1.2 cpuhotplug registration api's

+1.2.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpuhotplug_cooling_register(

• const struct cpumask *mask_val)
• This interface function registers the cpuhotplug cooling device with the name
• "thermal-cpuhotplug".
• mask_val: all the allowed cpu's which can be hotplugged out.

+1.1.2 void cpuhotplug_cooling_unregister(void)

• This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpuhotplug" cooling device.

Need to add the "const struct cpumask *mask_val" parameter to this function like it's used above and prototyped in the heard or else it causes a build error when building without CONFIG_CPU_FREQ defined.

Yes sure somehow missed adding this. Thanks for pointing this out.

I don't like how ACTIVE does not have available notification callbacks like HOT and CRITICAL do.  Perhaps I fail to grasp why they aren't there but besides just applying a cooling device, one might want to do something else as well upon hitting these trip points.  So that said, it might be nice to add a notification to STATE_ACTIVE as well.

Well I added ACTIVE_STATE trip type as just some additional features over trip type ACTIVE. Also each thermal zone can have more then one trip types so HOT notifications can still be used. But I like your suggestion of putting notfications in all the trip types. Lets see if the maintainers agree to this idea.
