[PATCH 4/8] thermal/drivers/Kconfig: Convert the CPU cooling device to a choice

From: Daniel Lezcano
Date: Tue Jan 23 2018 - 10:35:39 EST


The next changes will add new way to cool down a CPU. In order to
sanitize and make the overall cpu cooling code consistent and robust
we must prevent the cpu cooling devices to co-exists with the same
purpose at the same time in the kernel.

Make the CPU cooling device a choice in the Kconfig, so only one CPU
cooling strategy can be chosen.

This implements the generic cpu cooling mechanism through frequency
reduction. An ACPI version of this already exists
(drivers/acpi/processor_thermal.c).
This will be useful for platforms using the generic thermal interface
and not the ACPI interface.

- If you want this support, you should say Y here.
