Currently, the default mechanism is to trigger a shutdown after the
critical temperature is reached.
In some embedded cases, such behavior does not suit well, as the board may
be unattended in the field and rebooting may be a better approach.
The bootloader may also check the temperature and only allow the boot to
proceed when the temperature is below a certain threshold.
Introduce support for allowing a reboot to be triggered after the
critical temperature is reached.
If the "critical-action" devicetree property is not found, fall back to
the shutdown action to preserve the existing default behavior.
If a custom ops->critical exists, then it takes preference over
critical-actions.
Tested on a i.MX8MM board with the following devicetree changes:
thermal-zones {
cpu-thermal {
critical-action = "reboot";
};
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
