Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH 2/2] thermal: Add generic cpu cooling implementation

Hey Amit, I was able to use your code on an i.MX6Q thermal
implementation and it seemed to work pretty well.  Thanks for adding
this.  A couple of comments below.

Need to add the "const struct cpumask *mask_val" parameter
to this function like it's used above and prototyped in the heard
or else it causes a build error when building
without CONFIG_CPU_FREQ defined.

I don't like how ACTIVE does not have available notification callbacks
like HOT and CRITICAL do.  Perhaps I fail to grasp why they aren't there
but besides just applying a cooling device, one might want to do something
else as well upon hitting these trip points.  So that said, it might be nice
to add a notification to STATE_ACTIVE as well.
