Hi Alan,
If the sensor has a true thermal event interrupt why are you polling
it ? This all costs battery and wakeups on a phone.
These are skin sensors on the platform and do not generate an interrupt.
So, the thermal monitoring is done by polling.
but why is this polling done in the kernel driver, and not by the
userspace component that wants the data/alert?
the userspace component is in a better position to align things, and
also ask for the data in the frequency IT can use it.
