Subject[PATCH v2 2/4] thermal: intel: hfi: Shorten the thermal netlink event delay to 100ms
Date
The delay between an HFI interrupt and its corresponding thermal netlink
event has so far been hard-coded to CONFIG_HZ jiffies (1 second). This
delay is too long for hardware that generates updates every tens of
milliseconds.

The HFI driver uses a delayed workqueue to send thermal netlink events. No
subsequent events will be sent if there is pending work.

As a result, much of the information of consecutive hardware updates will
be lost if the workqueue delay is too long. User space entities may act on
obsolete data. If the delay is too short, multiple events may overwhelm
listeners.

Set the delay to 100ms to strike a balance between too many and too few
events. Use milliseconds instead of jiffies to improve readability.

Changes since v1:
* Dropped the debugfs interface. Instead, updated the delay from 1s to
100ms.
