thermal: rcar-thermal: update thermal zone only when temperature changes
Avoid updating the thermal zone in case an IRQ was triggered but the temperature didn't effectively change. Note this is not a driver issue. Below is a captured debug trace illustrating the purpose of this patch: out of 8 thermal zone updates, only 2 are actually necessary. [ 41.120000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=25000 [ 41.120000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=30000 [ 41.120000] rcar_thermal_work(): temp is now 30000C, update thermal zone [ 58.990000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=30000 [ 58.990000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=30000 [ 58.990000] rcar_thermal_work(): same temp, do not update thermal zone [ 59.290000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=30000 [ 59.290000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=30000 [ 59.290000] rcar_thermal_work(): same temp, do not update thermal zone [ 59.590000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=30000 [ 59.590000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=30000 [ 59.590000] rcar_thermal_work(): same temp, do not update thermal zone [ 59.890000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=30000 [ 59.890000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=30000 [ 59.890000] rcar_thermal_work(): same temp, do not update thermal zone [ 60.190000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=30000 [ 60.190000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=30000 [ 60.190000] rcar_thermal_work(): same temp, do not update thermal zone [ 60.490000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=30000 [ 60.490000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=30000 [ 60.490000] rcar_thermal_work(): same temp, do not update thermal zone [ 60.790000] rcar_thermal_work(): cctemp=30000 [ 60.790000] rcar_thermal_work(): nctemp=35000 [ 60.790000] rcar_thermal_work(): temp is now 35000C, update thermal zone I suspect this may be due to sensor sampling accuracy / fluctuation, but no formal proof.
