commit 108ffd12be24ba1d74b3314df8db32a0a6d55ba5 upstream.
The lockdep assertion in thermal_zone_trip_id() triggers when the
trip point sysfs attribute of a thermal instance is read, because
there is no thermal zone locking in that code path.
This is not verly useful, though, because there is no mechanism by which
the location of the trips[] table in a thermal zone or its size can
change after binding cooling devices to the trips in that thermal
zone and before those cooling devices are unbound from them. Thus
it is not in fact necessary to hold the thermal zone lock when
thermal_zone_trip_id() is called from trip_point_show() and so the
lockdep asserion in the former is invalid.
Accordingly, drop that lockdep assertion.

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.
