Nícolas F. R. A. Prado fb64fc9fac thermal: core: Don't update trip points inside the hysteresis range
[ Upstream commit cf3986f8c0 ]

When searching for the trip points that need to be set, the nearest
higher trip point's temperature is used for the high trip, while the
nearest lower trip point's temperature minus the hysteresis is used for
the low trip. The issue with this logic is that when the current
temperature is inside a trip point's hysteresis range, both high and low
trips will come from the same trip point. As a consequence instability
can still occur like this:
* the temperature rises slightly and enters the hysteresis range of a
  trip point
* polling happens and updates the trip points to the hysteresis range
* the temperature falls slightly, exiting the hysteresis range, crossing
  the trip point and triggering an IRQ, the trip points are updated
* repeat

So even though the current hysteresis implementation prevents
instability from happening due to IRQs triggering on the same
temperature value, both ways, it doesn't prevent it from happening due
to an IRQ on one way and polling on the other.

To properly implement a hysteresis behavior, when inside the hysteresis
range, don't update the trip points. This way, the previously set trip
points will stay in effect, which will in a way remember the previous
state (if the temperature signal came from above or below the range) and
therefore have the right trip point already set.

The exception is if there was no previous trip point set, in which case
a previous state doesn't exist, and so it's sensible to allow the
hysteresis range as trip points.

The following logs show the current behavior when running on a real
machine:

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 Restructured Text 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.
