This patch changes the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to consider if
a cpu needs cooling (with cpufreq). In case the cooling is needed,
it can be flagged at the cpu0 device tree node, with the boolean
property 'needs-cooling'.
In case this boolean is present, the driver will
load a cpufreq cooling device in the system. The cpufreq-cpu0
driver is not capable of determining how the system should
be using the cooling device. This can be described using device
tree, to determine what needs to be done with the loaded
cpufreq cooling device, in case the system temperature is detected
to be high, with help of temperature sensors (check
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal.txt).

+
+The generic cpu cooling (freq clipping) can be loaded by the
+generic cpufreq-cpu0 driver in case the device tree node informs
+this need.
+
+In order to load the cpufreq cooling device, it is possible to
+inform that the cpu needs cooling by adding the boolean flag
+'needs-cooling' at the cpu0 phandle.
+
+Example:
+ cpus {
+ cpu@0 {
+ operating-points = <
+ /* kHz uV */
+ 800000 1313000
+ 1008000 1375000
+ >;
+ needs-cooling; /* make sure we have cpufreq-cooling */
+ };
+ ...
+ };
+
+The above will cause the cpufreq-cpu0 driver to understand that
+the cpu will need passive cooling and while probing that node it will
+also load the cpufreq cpu cooling device in that system.
+
+However, be advised that this flag will not describe what needs to
+be done or how the cpufreq cooling device will be used. In order to
+accomplish this, one needs to write a phandle for a thermal zone, as
+described in the section 'thermal_zone'.
