I don't understand this. What this driver actually supports/implements? Dealing with TMU over ACPM firmware is not exclusive to Google GS101 SoC, some other Exynos-based systems has this as well. However, it names the config option EXYNOS_ACPM_THERMAL but a lot of other things say that it is only for GS101, isn't it? Does it implement the generic layer dealing with TMU via ACPM (hence the name) and adds specific things to support gs101? Should it be something like this (feel free to correct): Support for the Thermal Management Unit (TMU) exported via ACPM. This driver handles direct register access for thermal interrupt status monitoring and communicates with the Alive Clock and Power Manager (ACPM) firmware via the ACPM IPC protocol for functional sensor control and configuration. Select this if you want to monitor device temperature and enable thermal mitigation on Exynos-based devices that implement dealing with TMU via ACPM, for instance, GS101-based devices. ?
