[PATCH v2] thermal: imx8mm: Allow reboot after critical temperature

From: Fabio Estevam
Date: Thu Aug 24 2023 - 07:28:21 EST


From: Fabio Estevam <festevam@xxxxxxx>

Currently, after the board reaches the critical temperature, the system
goes through a poweroff mechanism.

In some cases, such behavior does not suit well, as the board may be
unattended in the field and rebooting may be a better approach.

The bootloader may also check the temperature and only allow the boot to
proceed when the temperature is below a certain threshold.

Introduce a reboot_on_critical parameter to indicate that the board
will go through a reboot after the critical temperature is reached.

When this parameter is not selected, the default behavior of forcing a
shutdown is preserved.

Tested on a imx8mm-evk board by passing 'imx8mm_thermal.reboot_on_critical'
via kernel command line.

Changes since v1:
- Introduce a module_param() instead of a devicetree property.
