[PATCH v3 10/12] misc: throttler: Add core support for non-thermal throttling

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

The purpose of the throttler is to provide support for non-thermal
throttling. Throttling is triggered by external event, e.g. the
detection of a high battery discharge current, close to the OCP limit
of the battery. The throttler is only in charge of the throttling, not
the monitoring, which is done by another (possibly platform specific)
driver.

---
Changes in v3:
- Kconfig: don't select CPU_FREQ and PM_DEVFREQ
- added CONFIG_THROTTLER_DEBUG option
- changed 'level' sysfs attribute to debugfs
- introduced thr_<level> macros for logging
- added debug logs
- added field clamp_freq to struct cpufreq_thrdev and devfreq_thrdev
  to keep track of the current frequency limits and avoid spammy logs

Changes in v2:
- completely reworked the driver to support configuration through OPPs, which
  requires a more dynamic handling
- added sysfs attribute to set the level for debugging and testing
- Makefile: depend on Kconfig option to traverse throttler directory
- Kconfig: removed 'default n'
- added SPDX line instead of license boiler-plate
- added entry to MAINTAINERS file

+ * Non-thermal throttling: throttling of system components in response to
+ * external events (e.g. high battery discharge current).
+ *
+ * The throttler supports throttling through cpufreq and devfreq. Multiple
+ * levels of throttling can be configured. At level 0 no throttling is
+ * active on behalf of the throttler, for values > 0 throttling is typically
+ * configured to be increasingly aggressive with each level.
+ * The number of throttling levels is not limited by the throttler (though
+ * it is likely limited by the throttling devices). It is not necessary to
+ * configure the same number of levels for all throttling devices. If the
+ * requested throttling level for a device is higher than the maximum level
+ * of the device the throttler will select the maximum throttling level of
+ * the device.
+ *
+ * Non-thermal throttling is split in two parts:
+ *
+ * - throttler core
+ *   - parses the thermal policy
+ *   - applies throttling settings for a requested level of throttling
+ *
+ * - event monitor driver
+ *   - monitors events that trigger throttling
+ *   - determines the throttling level (often limited to on/off)
+ *   - asks throttler core to apply throttling settings
+ *
+ * It is possible for a system to have more than one throttler and the
+ * throttlers may make use of the same throttling devices, in case of
+ * conflicting settings for a device the more aggressive values will be
+ * applied.
