- * thermal_zone_device_register - register a new thermal zone device
+ * thermal_zone_device_register() - register a new thermal zone device
* @type: the thermal zone device type
* @trips: the number of trip points the thermal zone support
* @mask: a bit string indicating the writeablility of trip points
* whether trip points have been crossed (0 for interrupt
* driven systems)
*
+ * This interface function adds a new thermal zone device (sensor) to
+ * /sys/class/thermal folder as thermal_zone[0-*]. It tries to bind all the
+ * thermal cooling devices registered at the same time.
* thermal_zone_device_unregister() must be called when the device is no
* longer needed. The passive cooling depends on the .get_trend() return value.
+ *
+ * Return: a pointer to the created struct thermal_zone_device or an
+ * in case of error, an ERR_PTR. Caller must check return value with
+ * IS_ERR*() helpers.
