Before these two patches, only platform thermal driver cares about
"mode", thermal core does nothing but invokes platform .set_mode()
callback upon sysfs I/F write.
But after this patch set, "mode" becomes something that we should
take into account in thermal core as well.
Thus, IMO, we have a couple of things more to do, like the prototype
patch attached, which I have not tested yet.
