What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/type
Description:
		Strings which represent the thermal zone type.
		This is given by thermal zone driver as part of registration.
		E.g: "acpitz" indicates it's an ACPI thermal device.
		In order to keep it consistent with hwmon sys attribute; this
		should be a short, lowercase string, not containing spaces nor
		dashes.

		RO, Required

Description:
		Current temperature as reported by thermal zone (sensor).

		Unit: millidegree Celsius

		RO, Required

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/mode

		currently managing the thermal zone. It can be either default
		kernel based algorithm or user space application.

		RO, Optional

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/trip_point_Y_type
Description:
		Strings which indicate the type of the trip point.

		E.g. it can be one of critical, hot, passive, `active[0-*]`
		for ACPI thermal zone.

		RO, Optional

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/trip_point_Y_hyst

	for cooling device throttling control represents.

	RO, Optional

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/cdevY_trip_point
Description:
		The trip point in this thermal zone which `cdev[0-*]` is
		associated with; -1 means the cooling device is not
		associated with any trip point.

		RO, Optional

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/cdevY_weight
Description:
		The influence of `cdev[0-*]` in this thermal zone. This value
		is relative to the rest of cooling devices in the thermal
		zone. For example, if a cooling device has a weight double
		than that of other, it's twice as effective in cooling the
		thermal zone.

		RW, Optional

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/emul_temp
Description:
		Interface to set the emulated temperature method in thermal zone
		(sensor). After setting this temperature, the thermal zone may
		pass this temperature to platform emulation function if
		registered or cache it locally. This is useful in debugging
		different temperature threshold and its associated cooling
		action. This is write only node and writing 0 on this node
		should disable emulation.

		Unit: millidegree Celsius

		WO, Optional

		WARNING:
		    Be careful while enabling this option on production systems,
		    because userland can easily disable the thermal policy by simply
		    flooding this sysfs node with low temperature values.

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/k_pu
Description:
		The proportional term of the power allocator governor's PID

What:		/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/integral_cutoff
Description:
		Temperature offset from the desired temperature trip point
		above which the integral term of the power allocator
		governor's PID controller starts accumulating errors. For

		of transitions from State_i to State_j. If the transition
		table is bigger than PAGE_SIZE, reading this will return
		an -EFBIG error.
