Changes for v2:
- Rename cooling-pwm-values to cooling-levels
- Remove default-pulse-width property and stick to default hwmon policy
Changes for v3:
- Changing commit title from "hwmon: dts: Doc:" to "Documentation: dts"
- Remove unnecessary properties
- Set maximal cooling level to 230 instead of 255
Changes for v4:
- None
Changes for v5:
- Move thermal-zones description to example section
- Extending example section
Changes for v6:
- cooling-{min|max}-state properties added to pwm-fan binding
- Mandatory properties for thermal-zones added
- Indentation fixed
