From 63c4d919cf66b1b3ffa7861bddb50a697914af5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eduardo Valentin Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2013 12:32:28 +0000 Subject: thermal: introduce thermal_zone_get_zone_by_name helper function This patch adds a helper function to get a reference of a thermal zone, based on the zone type name. It will perform a zone name lookup and return a reference to a thermal zone device that matches the name requested. In case the zone is not found or when several zones match same name or if the required parameters are invalid, it will return the corresponding error code (ERR_PTR).
