The subject says "remove module support". What is this supposed to be
about ?

The code adds support for multiple cooling "profiles" but, unless I am
really missing something, no means to actually select a profile.
This adds a lot of complexity to the code with zero value.

Either case, and I may have mentioned this before, functionality like this
should really reside in the thermal core and not in individual drivers.

You can not claim authorship for a driver by adding a few lines of code
to it.

You can not just add new properties like this without documenting it
and getting approval by devicetree maintainers.
