Commit31a0fa0019("thermal/debugfs: Pass cooling device state to thermal_debug_cdev_add()") changed the thermal core to read the current state of the cooling device as part of the cooling device's registration. This is incompatible with the current implementation of the cooling device operations in mlxsw, leading to initialization failure with errors such as: mlxsw_spectrum 0000:01:00.0: Failed to register cooling device mlxsw_spectrum 0000:01:00.0: cannot register bus device The reason for the failure is that when the get current state operation is invoked the driver tries to derive the index of the cooling device by walking a per thermal zone array and looking for the matching cooling device pointer. However, the pointer is returned from the registration function and therefore only set in the array after the registration. The issue was later fixed by commit1af89dedc8("thermal: core: Do not fail cdev registration because of invalid initial state") by not failing the registration of the cooling device if it cannot report a valid current state during registration, although drivers are responsible for ensuring that this will not happen. Therefore, make sure the driver is able to report a valid current state for the cooling device during registration by passing to the registration function a per cooling device private data that already has the cooling device index populated. While at it, call thermal_cooling_device_unregister() unconditionally since the function returns immediately if the cooling device pointer is NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
