    thermal: Add cooling device's statistics in sysfs · 8ea22951
    Viresh Kumar authored
    This extends the sysfs interface for thermal cooling devices and exposes
    some pretty useful statistics. These statistics have proven to be quite
    useful specially while doing benchmarks related to the task scheduler,
    where we want to make sure that nothing has disrupted the test,
    specially the cooling device which may have put constraints on the CPUs.
    The information exposed here tells us to what extent the CPUs were
    constrained by the thermal framework.
    
    The write-only "reset" file is used to reset the statistics.
    
    The read-only "time_in_state_ms" file shows the time (in msec) spent by the
    device in the respective cooling states, and it prints one line per
    cooling state.
    
    The read-only "total_trans" file shows single positive integer value
    showing the total number of cooling state transitions the device has
    gone through since the time the cooling device is registered or the time
    when statistics were reset last.
    
    The read-only "trans_table" file shows a two...
