Unlike the CPU, the CDSP/Modem does not throttle its speed automatically
when it reaches high temperatures in kodiak.

Set up CDSP cooling by throttling the cdsp when it reaches 100°C and
for modem when it reaches to 95°C.

Add polling-delay-passive so the governor periodically evaluates
the zone during passive cooling and steps up cooling levels when
temperature stabilizes below the next trip.

Since the remoteproc_mpss node doesn't exist on non modem boards, the
cooling-maps that reference it cause DT compilation errors. To fix that
remove inherited mdmss cooling-map nodes.

Extra empty line.

thanks for review, will update this.

This is out of place. If you want to remove maps, remove them directly
by label, rather than deleting them through a path under a thermal node.

thanks for this suggestion, will use label.
