[PATCH v1 6/7] of: thermal: Introduce sustainable power for a thermal zone

From: Javi Merino
Date: Wed Jan 28 2015 - 16:43:12 EST


From: Punit Agrawal <punit.agrawal@xxxxxxx>

Introduce an optional property called, sustainable-power, which
represents the power (in mW) which the thermal zone can safely
dissipate.

If provided the property is parsed and associated with the thermal
zone via the thermal zone parameters.
