For some reason when I have both polling-delay-passive and
polling-delay set to 0, the active cooling map I have in my board DT
(using a PWM controlled fan) behaves weirdly.

I use the following fragment in my board DTS:

+&package_thermal {
+       trips {
+               package_fan: package-fan {
+                       temperature = <55000>;
+                       hysteresis = <2000>;
+                       type = "active";
+               };
+       };
+
+       cooling-maps {
+               map-fan {
+                       trip = <&package_fan>;
+                       cooling-device = <&fan THERMAL_NO_LIMIT
THERMAL_NO_LIMIT>;
+               };
+       };
+};

If I add polling-delay = <1000>; at the top, the fan speeds up and
down dynamically as the package temperature swings around 55C. If I
remove that (having set polling-delay = <0>; in rk3588s.dtsi), the fan
speeds up to the midpoint cooling state once the package temperature
approaches 55C, and then it just stays there forever: it doesn't speed
up above the midpoint even as the temperature climbs above 70C, nor
does it spin down as it falls back to around 45C.

Is that the expected behavior for when the polling is disabled?

I haven't yet studied in detail if passive cooling kicks in correctly
with polling disabled, but this behavior with active cooling left me
quite confused - any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Alexey
