From 7e2c70f8a104e777df799130b4a39c35f51ba19c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:02:09 +0200 Subject: thermal: core: Introduce thermal_cooling_device_create() Currently, thermal cooling devices have no parents, but it would be generally useful to be able to create them under specific parents in the device hierarchy (for instance, it may help to identify the device representing the actual cooling hardware). To make that possible, add thermal_cooling_device_create() that will work like thermal_cooling_device_register() except that it will take an additional parent argument (which may be NULL). Redefine thermal_cooling_device_register() as a static inline wrapper around thermal_cooling_device_create(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
