This driver uses ACPI INT3403 device objects. If present, it will |
|
|
|
|
register each INT3403 thermal sensor as a thermal zone. |
|
|
|
|
Newer laptops and tablets that use ACPI may have thermal sensors |
|
|
|
|
outside the core CPU/SOC for thermal safety reasons. These |
|
|
|
|
temperature sensors are also exposed for the OS to use via the so |
|
|
|
|
called INT3403 ACPI object. This driver will, on devices that have |
|
|
|
|
such sensors, expose the temperature information from these sensors |
|
|
|
|
to userspace via the normal thermal framework. This means that a wide |
|
|
|
|
range of applications and GUI widgets can show this information to |
|
|
|
|
the user or use this information for making decisions. For example, |
|
|
|
|
the Intel Thermal Daemon can use this information to allow the user |
|
|
|
|
to select his laptop to run without turning on the fans. |
