if we always wants CONFIG_STEP_WISE built in, why bother to export this
config option to users?

IMO, something like
 menuconfig THERMAL
  	tristate "Generic Thermal sysfs driver"
	select STEP_WISE

 config STEP_WISE
	bool
	depends on THERMAL

is enough, SETP_WISE will always be selected.

further more, we even do not need a config option for this governor,
just "obj-y += step_wise.o" in Makefile.

another question would be,
as this governor registration function is fs_initcall(),
what if a platform thermal driver is registered and gets a thermal event
before this governor being registered?

thanks,
