hwmon: exynos4: move thermal sensor driver to driver/thermal directory
This movement is needed because the hwmon entries and corresponding sysfs
interface is a duplicate of utilities already provided by
driver/thermal/thermal_sys.c. The goal is to place it in thermal folder
and add necessary functions to use the in-kernel thermal interfaces.

11 | Description | ||
12 | ----------- | ||
13 | |||
14 | This driver allows to read temperature inside SAMSUNG EXYNOS4 series of SoC. | ||
15 | |||
16 | The chip only exposes the measured 8-bit temperature code value | ||
17 | through a register. | ||
18 | Temperature can be taken from the temperature code. | ||
19 | There are three equations converting from temperature to temperature code. | ||
20 | |||
21 | The three equations are: | ||
22 | 1. Two point trimming | ||
23 | Tc = (T - 25) * (TI2 - TI1) / (85 - 25) + TI1 | ||
24 | |||
25 | 2. One point trimming | ||
26 | Tc = T + TI1 - 25 | ||
27 | |||
28 | 3. No trimming | ||
29 | Tc = T + 50 | ||
30 | |||
31 | Tc: Temperature code, T: Temperature, | ||
32 | TI1: Trimming info for 25 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register) | ||
33 | Temperature code measured at 25 degree Celsius which is unchanged | ||
34 | TI2: Trimming info for 85 degree Celsius (stored at TRIMINFO register) | ||
35 | Temperature code measured at 85 degree Celsius which is unchanged | ||
36 | |||
37 | TMU(Thermal Management Unit) in EXYNOS4 generates interrupt | ||
38 | when temperature exceeds pre-defined levels. | ||
39 | The maximum number of configurable threshold is four. | ||
40 | The threshold levels are defined as follows: | ||
41 | Level_0: current temperature > trigger_level_0 + threshold | ||
42 | Level_1: current temperature > trigger_level_1 + threshold | ||
43 | Level_2: current temperature > trigger_level_2 + threshold | ||
44 | Level_3: current temperature > trigger_level_3 + threshold | ||
45 | |||
46 | The threshold and each trigger_level are set | ||
47 | through the corresponding registers. | ||
48 | |||
49 | When an interrupt occurs, this driver notify kernel thermal framework | ||
50 | with the function exynos4_report_trigger. | ||
51 | Although an interrupt condition for level_0 can be set, | ||
52 | it can be used to synchronize the cooling action. | ||
