From: Ram Chandrasekar <rkumb...@codeaurora.org>
There is currently no way for the governor to be selected for each thermal
zone in devicetree. This results in the default governor being used for all
thermal zones even though no such restriction exists in the core code.
Add support for specifying the thermal governor to be used for a thermal
zone in the devicetree. The devicetree config should specify the governor
name as a string that matches any available governors. If not specified, we
maintain the current behaviour of using the default governor.
