Sung-Chi Li 5798b62867 hwmon: (cros_ec) register fans into thermal framework cooling devices
Register fans connected under EC as thermal cooling devices as well, so
these fans can then work with the thermal framework.

During the driver probing phase, we will also try to register each fan
as a thermal cooling device based on previous probe result (whether the
there are fans connected on that channel, and whether EC supports fan
control). The basic get max state, get current state, and set current
state methods are then implemented as well.

Kernel driver cros_ec_hwmon
===========================
Supported chips:
* ChromeOS embedded controllers.
Prefix: 'cros_ec'
Addresses scanned: -

Description
-----------
This driver implements support for hardware monitoring commands exposed by the
ChromeOS embedded controller used in Chromebooks and other devices.
The channel labels exposed via hwmon are retrieved from the EC itself.
Fan and temperature readings are supported. PWM fan control is also supported if
the EC also supports setting fan PWM values and fan mode. Note that EC will
switch fan control mode back to auto when suspended. This driver will restore
the fan state to what they were before suspended when resumed.
If a fan is controllable, this driver will register that fan as a cooling device
in the thermal framework as well.
