[RFC PATCH 01/14] cpufreq: cpufreq-cpu0: add dt node parsing for 'cooling-zones'

From: Eduardo Valentin
Date: Fri Aug 23 2013 - 19:17:38 EST


This patch changes the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to consider if
a cpu needs cooling (with cpufreq). In case the cooling is needed,
it can be flagged at the cpu0 device tree node, with the list
of zones property 'cooling-zones'.

In case this list of zones is present, the driver will
load a cpufreq cooling device in the system. The cpufreq-cpu0
driver is not interested in determining how the system should
be using the cooling device. The driver is responsible
only of loading the cooling device.

Describing how the cooling device will be used can be
accomplished by setting up a thermal zone that references
and is composed by the cpufreq cooling device.
