[RFC] thermal/drivers/intel_menlow: Remove add_one_attribute
Commit Message
The driver hooks the thermal framework sysfs to add some driver
specific information. A debatable approach as that may belong the
device sysfs directory, not the thermal zone directory.
As the driver is accessing the thermal internals, we should provide at
least an API to the thermal framework to add an attribute to the
existing sysfs thermal zone entry.
Before doing that and given the age of the driver (2008) may be it is
worth to double check if these attributes are really needed. So my
first proposal is to remove them if that does not hurt.

I don't have any device that uses this driver.
Let's see what Sujith says.

Thanks for your answer.
I take the opportunity to ask you for the ACPI thermal additional sysfs
entries.
The ACPI thermal driver adds a link:
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/device
which points to:
../../../LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:01/LNXTHERM:00
And in this directory there is:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:01/LNXTHERM:00/thermal_zone
pointing to /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0
I was wondering if we have to keep it also? It is a cyclic description
and we can have the several thermal zones having a device link pointing
to the same location. So I'm not sure this is correct.
I can understand adding a link in the thermal zone pointing to the
device could make sense, and that could be generalized to all the
thermal zone creation, but the back pointer link seems strange.
Would it make sense to remove this second link ?

I don't think so. So far, ACPI Thermal object and the generic thermal
zone device are 1:1 match.

That was required by some userpsace tool running on menlow, similar to
this one. But TBH, I don't recall the userspace details.

If there is a 1:1 relationship, how can the userspace require the kernel
to describe an information it already has?
eg.
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/device points to
../../../LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:01/LNXTHERM:00
So, userspace has already the opposite relationship as the 1:1 tells
thermal_zone0 -> LNXTHERM:00, then LNXTHERM:00 is associated to
thermal_zone0. It is a duplicate information in sysfs.
Anyway, I guess that now it is in sysfs, the removal will be very hard
to achieve *sigh*
