'echo disabled > .../thermal_zoneX/mode' will disable the thermal core's
polling mechanism to check for threshold trips. This is used sometimes to
run performance test cases.

However, tsens supports an interrupt mechanism to receive notification of
trips, implemented in commit 634e11d5b450 ("drivers: thermal: tsens: Add
interrupt support").

Currently the thermal zone mode that's set by userspace is not checked
before propagating threshold trip events from IRQs. Let's fix this to
restore the abilty to disable thermal throttling at runtime.

====================

Tested on MSM8939 running 5.16.0. This platform has 8 cores; the first
four thermal zones control cpu0-3 and the last zone is for the other four
CPUs together.

  for f in /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*; do
    echo "disabled" > $f/mode
    echo $f | paste - $f/type $f/mode
  done

/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0	cpu0-thermal	disabled
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1	cpu1-thermal	disabled
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone2	cpu2-thermal	disabled
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone3	cpu3-thermal	disabled
/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone4	cpu4567-thermal	disabled

With mitigation thresholds at 75 degC and load running, we can now cruise
past temp=75000 without CPU throttling kicking in.

Changes in v3:
- Upgraded logging to dev_info_ratelimited and revised log message.
- Remove unrelated hunk.

Some drivers that support thermal zone disabling implement a set_mode
operation and simply disable the sensor or the relevant IRQ(s), so they
actually don't log anything when zones are disabled. These drivers are
imx_thermal.c, intel_quark_dts_thermal.c, and int3400_thermal.c.

For tsens.c, implementing a change_mode would require migrating the driver
from devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register to thermal_zone_device_register
(or updating thermal_of.c to add a change_mode operation in thermal_zone_
of_device_ops).

stm_thermal.c seems to use this patch's model of not disabling IRQs when
the zone is disabled (they still perform the thermal_zone_device_update
upon IRQ, but return -EAGAIN from their get_temp).

Changes in v2:
- Reordered sentences in first part of commit message to make sense.

It seems fine, is that the preference? Updating thermal_of.c to add a
change_mode
operation in thermal_zone_of_device_ops?
