The ACPI specification describes the trip points, the device tree
bindings as well.

The OF code uses the generic trip point structures.

The ACPI has their own trip points structure and uses the get_trip_*
ops to retrieve them.

We can do the same as the OF code and create a set of ACPI functions
to retrieve a trip point description. Having a common code for ACPI
will help to cleanup the remaining Intel drivers and get rid of the
get_trip_* functions.

These changes add the ACPI thermal calls to retrieve the basic
information we need to be reused in the thermal ACPI and Intel
drivers.

The different ACPI functions have the generic trip point structure
passed as parameter where it is filled.

This structure aims to be the one used by all the thermal drivers and
the thermal framework.

After this series, a couple of Intel drivers and the ACPI thermal
driver will still have their own trip points definition but a new
series on top of this one will finish the conversion to the generic
trip point handling.

This series depends on the generic trip point added to the thermal
framework and available in the thermal/linux-next branch.

 https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/10/3/456

It has been tested on a Intel i7-8650U - x280 with the INT3400, the
PCH, ACPITZ, and x86_pkg_temp. No regression observed so far.

Some names of the functions defined below can be less cryptic IMO.
Please see the following comments.

If the full word "hysteresis" is used here, it should also be used in
the hysteresis-related names below.

I would use the "hyst" abbreviation here and elsewhere where applicable.

Like the above, but regarding "temperature" and "temp" instead of
"hysteresis" and "hyst", respectively.

So this would become thermal_acpi_get_temp_object(). or even
thermal_acpi_get_temp() because it really returns the temperature
value.

I also don't particularly like returning values via pointers, which is
entirely avoidable here, because the temperature value obtained from
the ACPI control methods must be a positive number.

So I would make it

static int thermal_acpi_get_temp(struct acpi_device *adev, char *object_name)
{

which would be consistent with the definition of the hysteresis
function below (which returns the value directly).

This message may not be true, because status need not be AE_NOT_FOUND.

I think that the message can be debug-level as well and I would just
say "Invalid value %llu returned by %s\n" in it.

And I'm not sure if the difference between -ENODEV and -ENODATA
matters here.  Maybe return -ENODATA in all error cases?

GTSH is not a standard ACPI thing.

AFAICS, it's int3403 specific, so using it in a generic ACPI library
is questionable.

No, it doesn't do that.  What it really does can be described as

"Evaluate the _ACx object for the thermal zone represented by @adev to
obtain the temperature of the active cooling trip point corresponding
to the active cooling level given by @id and initialize @trip as an
active trip point using that temperature value"

temp = thermal_acpi_get_temp(adev, name);
if (temp < 0)
        return temp;

trip->temperature = temp;

We are converting decikelvin -> millicelsius. Even it is very unlikely, 
the result could be less than zero (eg. -1°C). We won't be able to 
differentiate -ENODATA with a negative value, no ?

In the future, it is possible we will have to deal with cold trip points 
in order to warm a board. May be we should don't care for now ?

My point is that the ACPI specification mandates that the return
values be in deciK and so always non-negative.

I understand that but the code does:

static int thermal_acpi_get_temp(struct acpi_device *adev, char 
*object_name)
{
	...

	return deci_kelvin_to_millicelsius(temp);
}

All the callers do:

...

         ret = thermal_acpi_get_temp(adev, name);
         if (ret < 0)
		return ret;
	/* This could be an error
	 * or negative millicelsius temperature
	 */

	/* here we already have millicelsius */
         trip->temperature = ret;
...

So I guess we want to do:

...

         ret = thermal_acpi_get_temp(adev, name);
         if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

	/* we convert here instead in thermal_acpi_get_temp() */
         trip->temperature = deci_kelvin_to_millicelsius(ret);
...

Sounds good ?
