thermal: int340x: Fix unexpected shutdown at critical temperature
We are seeing thermal shutdown on Intel based mobile workstations, the shutdown happens during the first trip handle in thermal_zone_device_register(): kernel: thermal thermal_zone15: critical temperature reached (101 C), shutting down However, we shouldn't do a thermal shutdown here, since 1) We may want to use a dedicated daemon, Intel's thermald in this case, to handle thermal shutdown. 2) For ACPI based system, _CRT doesn't mean shutdown unless it's inside ThermalZone namespace. ACPI Spec, 11.4.4 _CRT (Critical Temperature): "... If this object it present under a device, the device’s driver evaluates this object to determine the device’s critical cooling temperature trip point. This value may then be used by the device’s driver to program an internal device temperature sensor trip point." So a "critical trip" here merely means we should take a more aggressive cooling method. As int340x device isn't present under ACPI ThermalZone, override the default .critical callback to prevent surprising thermal shutdown.

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.
