Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:

 - Fix a problem where orderly_shutdown() is called for multiple times
   due to multiple critical overheating events raised in a short period
   by platform thermal driver. (Keerthy)

 - Introduce a backup thermal shutdown mechanism, which invokes
   kernel_power_off()/emergency_restart() directly, after
   orderly_shutdown() being issued for certain amount of time(specified
   via Kconfig). This is useful in certain conditions that userspace may
   be unable to power off the system in a clean manner and leaves the
   system in a critical state, like in the middle of driver probing
   phase. (Keerthy)

 - Introduce a new interface in thermal devfreq_cooling code so that the
   driver can provide more precise data regarding actual power to the
   thermal governor every time the power budget is calculated. (Lukasz
   Luba)

 - Introduce BCM 2835 soc thermal driver and northstar thermal driver,
   within a new sub-folder. (Rafał Miłecki)

 - Introduce DA9062/61 thermal driver. (Steve Twiss)

 - Remove non-DT booting on TI-SoC driver. Also add support to fetching
   coefficients from DT. (Keerthy)

 - Refactorf RCAR Gen3 thermal driver. (Niklas Söderlund)

 - Small fix on MTK and intel-soc-dts thermal driver. (Dawei Chien,
   Brian Bian)

 This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling
 device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if
 possible.

+6. thermal_emergency_poweroff:
+
+On an event of critical trip temperature crossing. Thermal framework
+allows the system to shutdown gracefully by calling orderly_poweroff().
+In the event of a failure of orderly_poweroff() to shut down the system
+we are in danger of keeping the system alive at undesirably high
+temperatures. To mitigate this high risk scenario we program a work
+queue to fire after a pre-determined number of seconds to start
+an emergency shutdown of the device using the kernel_power_off()
+function. In case kernel_power_off() fails then finally
+emergency_restart() is called in the worst case.
+
+The delay should be carefully profiled so as to give adequate time for
+orderly_poweroff(). In case of failure of an orderly_poweroff() the
+emergency poweroff kicks in after the delay has elapsed and shuts down
+the system.
+
+If set to 0 emergency poweroff will not be supported. So a carefully
+profiled non-zero positive value is a must for emergerncy poweroff to be
+triggered.
