    thermal: Added Bang-bang thermal governor · e4dbf98f
    Peter Feuerer authored
    The bang-bang thermal governor uses a hysteresis to switch abruptly on
    or off a cooling device.  It is intended to control fans, which can
    not be throttled but just switched on or off.
    Bang-bang cannot be set as default governor as it is intended for
    special devices only.  For those special devices the driver needs to
    explicitely request it.
