    Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
     "Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the
      last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested
      in linux-next tree for a few days.  Now the buggy patch has been
      dropped entirely from my next branch.  Thus I hope those changes can
      still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal
      driver changes.
    
      Specifics:
    
       - introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers.
    
         Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other
         devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the
         OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects.  Several drivers are
         introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling
         ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal
         framework.
    
         From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui.
    
       - introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to
         switch abruptly on/off a cooling device.  This governor can be used
         to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just
         switched on or off.  From: Peter Feuerer.
    
       - introduce support for some new thermal interrupt functions on
         i.MX6SX, in IMX thermal driver.  From: Anson, Huang.
    
       - introduce tracing support on thermal framework.  From: Punit
         Agrawal.
    
       - small fixes in OF thermal and thermal step_wise governor"
