*	thermal: power_allocator: relax the requirement of two passive trip points	Javi Merino	2015-09-14	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The power allocator governor currently requires that the thermal zone has at least two passive trip points. If there aren't, the governor refuses to bind to the thermal zone. This commit relaxes that requirement. Now the governor will bind to all thermal zones regardless of how many trip points they have.

*	thermal: introduce the Power Allocator governor	Javi Merino	2015-05-05	1	-0/+247
	The power allocator governor is a thermal governor that controls system and device power allocation to control temperature. Conceptually, the implementation divides the sustainable power of a thermal zone among all the heat sources in that zone. This governor relies on "power actors", entities that represent heat sources. They can report current and maximum power consumption and can set a given maximum power consumption, usually via a cooling device. The governor uses a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller driven by the temperature of the thermal zone. The output of the controller is a power budget that is then allocated to each power actor that can have bearing on the temperature we are trying to control. It decides how much power to give each cooling device based on the performance they are requesting. The PID controller ensures that the total power budget does not exceed the control temperature.
