The exynos thermal driver is structured as,

a) TMU configuration data: This consist of TMU register offsets/bitfields
69
+
described through structure exynos_tmu_registers. Also several
70
+
other platform data (struct exynos_tmu_platform_data) members
71
+
are used to configure the TMU.
72
+
b) TMU driver: This component initialises the TMU controller and sets different
73
+
thresholds. It invokes core thermal implementation with the call
74
+
exynos_report_trigger.
75
+
c) Exynos Core thermal wrapper: This provides 3 wrapper function to use the
76
+
Kernel core thermal framework. They are exynos_unregister_thermal,
77
+
exynos_register_thermal and exynos_report_trigger.
