This patch set adds two improvements to get a finer control over the
impact of thermal throttling on performance. Requesting to merge the
patches if no further changes needed.
1) Patch 1: Adds support to read "Thermal fast Sampling Period (_TFP)"
ACPI object and use it over "Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP)" for
Passive cooling if both are present.
2) Patch 2: Adds support to reduce the CPUFREQ reduction percentage
and not always cause throttling in steps of "20%" for Tegra241 SoC.
Both patches can be applied independently.

v4[4] -> 5:
- Patch 2: fix kernel robot warning for acpi_thermal_cpufreq_pctg().
v3[3] -> 4:
- Patch 2: move ARM code from generic to new file 'thermal_cpufreq.c'.
: get 'cpufreq_thermal_pctg' value for Tegra241 from new file.
: move dummy/null function to 'acpi.h'.
v2[2] -> v3:
- Patch1: rebased on top of linux-next.
- Patch2: use __read_mostly for the cpufreq_thermal_* variables.
: add static to new function acpi_thermal_cpufreq_config_nvidia.
: add null function if CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_SMCCC_DISCOVERY undefined
: removed redundant parenthesis.
v1[1] -> v2:
- Patch1: add ACPI spec section info in commit description and rebased.
- Patch2: add info about hardware in the commit description.
: switched CPUFREQ THERMAL tuning macros to static variables.
: update the tunings for Tegra241 SoC only using soc_id check.
