The fair share governor has the concept of weights, which is the
influence of each cooling device in a thermal zone. The current
implementation forces the weights of all cooling devices in a thermal
zone to add up to a 100. This complicates setups, as you need to know
in advance how many cooling devices you are going to have. If you bind a
new cooling device, you have to modify all the other cooling devices
weights, which is error prone. Furthermore, you can't specify a
"default" weight for platforms since that default value depends on the
number of cooling devices in the platform.
This patch generalizes the concept of weight by allowing any number to
be a "weight". Weights are now relative to each other. Platforms that
don't specify weights get the same default value for all their cooling
devices, so all their cdevs are considered to be equally influential.
It's important to note that previous users of the weights don't need to
alter the code: percentages continue to work as they used to. This
patch just removes the constraint of all the weights in a thermal zone
having to add up to a 100. If they do, you get the same behavior as
before. If they don't, fair share now works for that platform.

The fair share governor is not usable with thermal zones that use the
bind op and don't populate thermal_zone_parameters, the majority of
them. Now that the weight is in the thermal instance, we can use that
in the fair share governor to allow every thermal zone to trivially use
this governor. Furthermore, this simplifies the code.

Currently you can specify the weight of the cooling device in the device
tree but that information is not populated to the
thermal_bind_params where the fair share governor expects it to
be. The of thermal zone device doesn't have a thermal_bind_params
structure and arguably it's better to pass the weight inside the
thermal_instance as it is specific to the bind of a cooling device to a
thermal zone parameter.
Core thermal code is fixed to populate the weight in the instance from
the thermal_bind_params, so platform code that was passing the weight
inside the thermal_bind_params continue to work seamlessly.
While we are at it, create a default value for the weight parameter for
those thermal zones that currently don't define it and remove the
hardcoded default in of-thermal.

Create a new event to trace when the temperature is above a trip
point. Use the trace-point when handling non-critical and critical
trip pionts.

The thermal governors are part of the thermal framework,
rather than a seperate feature/module.
Because the generic thermal layer can not work without
thermal governors, and it must load the thermal governors
during its initialization.
Build them into one module in this patch.
This also fix a problem that the generic thermal layer does not
work when CONFIG_THERMAL=m and CONFIG_THERMAL_GOV_XXX=y.

This patch introduces a simple 'weight' based
governor named fair_share governor. Whenever the
thermal framework gets notified of the trip point
violation, this governor (if configured), throttles
the cooling devices associated with a thermal zone.
This mapping between a thermal zone and a cooling device
and the effectiveness of cooling are provided in the
platform layer.
