[PATCH v2 0/4] thermal: re-calculate k_po/k_pu when update sustainable power

[Leo Yan]

k_po/k_pu are two proportional term constants and essentially they have
fixed ratio compared with sustainable power. In current implementation,
k_po and k_pu are absolute value after calculation and cannot represent
the ratio relationship with sustainable power; as a result, when change
sustainable power we cannot smoothly change proportional term constant.

So this patch series introduces k_po_ratio and k_pu_ratio, which
represent the ratio value compared against sustainable power. Also add
sys file system nodes for them for easily update them from userspace and
update a bit in documentation.

Changes from v1:
* According to Eduardo' comments, move code from thermal_core to
  power_allocator file
* According to Daniel's review, v1 will introduce accumulated rounding
  errors; v2 patches can dismiss this issue

Leo Yan (4):
  thermal: power_allocator: rework proportional parameter
  thermal: power_allocator: change k_pu_ratio/k_po_ratio as percentage
  thermal: add sys node for k_pu_ratio/k_po_ratio
  thermal: power_allocator: document k_pu_ratio/k_po_ratio
