[ Upstream commit 49bcb1506f2e095262c01bda7fd1c0db524c91e2 ]
When converting the thermal-zones bindings to yaml the definition of the
contribution property changed. The intention is the same, an integer
value expressing a ratio of a sum on how much cooling is provided by the
device to the zone. But after the conversion the integer value is
limited to the range 0 to 100 and expressed as a percentage.
This is problematic for two reasons.
- This do not match how the binding is used. Out of the 18 files that
make use of the property only two (ste-dbx5x0.dtsi and
ste-hrefv60plus.dtsi) sets it at a value that satisfy the binding,
100. The remaining 16 files set the value higher and fail to validate.
- Expressing the value as a percentage instead of a ratio of the sum is
confusing as there is nothing to enforce the sum in the zone is not
greater then 100.
This patch restore the pre yaml conversion description and removes the
value limitation allowing the usage of the bindings to validate.
