The cooling levels are tuned to the fan that comes with the rockpro64 NAS
case. A gpu_thermal zone was not added because having two active cooling
maps control one physical fan causes them to compete for the fan speed
which results in erratic fan behavior.

Is there any reason this shouldn't go to the linux kernel first and
then be synced back to the standard rk3399-rockpro64.dtsi?

Is that a requirement? I do my primary development on OpenBSD and
while I use Linux for work tasks, I don't have available time right
now to push these changes to Linux kernel first.

The problem is that we need to keep Linux and U-Boot in sync. If a DT
change is submitted only to one then it isn't clear who is taking on
the task of syncing them up.

You don't actually need to be using Linux to send a DT change - just
clone Linux, apply your patch and send to devicetree@vger.kernel.org.
I wonder if it would be good enough to cc that group and the Linux
maintainer on these patches, assuming the files are currently in sync?
But probably a new patch is needed.

Regards,
Simon

Thank you for the pointers. I'll give that a try.
