The 0..255 range seems somewhat random. Would be nicer to either use the
approach of pwm-backlight (iotw, have the range go from the first to the
last entry of cooling-pwm-values) or simply have be the duty lenght in
NS as entries instead of the current indirection.
I assumed your cooling-pwm-values are a [0..255] range as well instead
of nanoseconds (would be good to make that more clear)?
Also having more consistent names would be nice.. To take pwm-backlight
as inspiration, cooling-levels and default-cooling-level would make it
more clear the second property picks a default setting from the first
one.
One thing i do wonder, is having an explicit default setting useful?
Should it not default to maximum cooling unless otherwise configured by
either the thermal framework or sysfs ?
