The cpu idle cooling driver performs synchronized idle injection across all cpus belonging to the same cluster and offers a new method to cool down a SoC. Each cluster has its own idle cooling device, each core has its own idle injection thread, each idle injection thread uses play_idle to enter idle. In order to reach the deepest idle state, each cooling device has the idle injection threads synchronized together. It has some similarity with the intel power clamp driver but it is actually designed to work on the ARM architecture via the DT with a mathematical proof with the power model which comes with the Documentation. The idle injection cycle is fixed while the running cycle is variable. That allows to have control on the device reactivity for the user experience. At the mitigation point the idle threads are unparked, they play idle the specified amount of time and they schedule themselves. The last thread sets the next idle inject...
