This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind
a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point.
.cdev: The cooling device pointer
- .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this zone.
- This is on a percentage scale. The sum of all these weights
- (for a particular zone) cannot exceed 100.
+ .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this
+ zone. This is relative to the rest of the cooling
+ devices. For example, if all cooling devices have a
+ weight of 1, then they all contribute the same. You can
+ use percentages if you want, but it's not mandatory. A
+ weight of 0 means that this cooling device doesn't
+ contribute to the cooling of this zone unless all cooling
+ devices have a weight of 0. If all weights are 0, then
+ they all contribute the same.
.trip_mask:This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound
