ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip points
"thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. "thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius, overrides all existing passive trip points for all ACPI thermal zones. thermal.psv is checked at module load time, and in response to trip-point change events. Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone temperature change events near the new trip-point, then it will not be noticed. To force your custom trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling: eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes. Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked, it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP), that is unrelated to _TZP. WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point may result in increased running temperature and shorter hardware lifetime on some systems. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
