Rafael J. Wysocki 529038146b thermal: gov_step_wise: Go straight to instance->lower when mitigation is over
Commit b684682698 ("thermal: gov_step_wise: Restore passive polling
management") attempted to fix a Step-Wise thermal governor issue
introduced by commit 042a3d80f1 ("thermal: core: Move passive polling
management to the core"), which caused the governor to leave cooling
devices in high states, by partially reverting that commit.

However, this turns out to be insufficient on some systems due to
interactions between the governor code restored by commit b684682698
and the passive polling management in the thermal core.

For this reason, revert commit b684682698 and make the governor set
the target cooling device state to the "lower" one as soon as the zone
temperature falls below the threshold of the trip point corresponding
to the given thermal instance, which means that thermal mitigation is
not necessary any more.

Before this change the "lower" cooling device state would be reached in
steps through the passive polling mechanism which was questionable for
three reasons: (1) cooling device were kept in high states when that was
not necessary (and it could adversely impact performance), (2) it only
worked for thermal zones with nonzero passive_delay_jiffies value, and
(3) passive polling belongs to the core and should not be hijacked by
governors for their internal purposes.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
