> -       String which represents the type of device, e.g:

> -       - for generic ACPI: should be "Fan", "Processor" or "LCD"
> -       - for memory controller device on intel_menlow platform:

> -max_state
> -       The maximum permissible cooling state of this cooling device.

> -       RO, Required
> -
> -cur_state
> -       The current cooling state of this cooling device.
> -       The value can any integer numbers between 0 and max_state:

> -       - cur_state == 0 means no cooling

> -stats/time_in_state_ms:
> -       The amount of time spent by the cooling device in various cooling
> -       states. The output will have "<state> <time>" pair in each line, which
> -       will mean this cooling device spent <time> msec of time at <state>.
