Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 3/7] thermal: introduce the Power Actor API
This patch introduces the Power Actor API in the thermal framework.
With it, devices that can report their power consumption and control
it can be registered. This base interface is meant to be used to
derive specific power actors, such as a cpu power actor.

+Power Actor API
+===============
+
+The base power actor API is meant to be used to derive specific power
+actors, such as a cpu power actor. Power actors can be registered by
+calling `power_actor_register()` and should be unregistered by calling
+`power_actor_unregister()` with the `struct power_actor *` received in
+the call to `power_actor_register()`.
+
+This can't be implemented using the cooling device API because:
+
+1. get_max_state() gives you the maximum cooling state which, for
+ passive devices, is the minimum performance (frequency in case of
+ cpufreq cdev). get_max_power() gives you the maximum power, which
+ gives you the maximum performance (frequency in the case of CPUs,
+ GPUs and buses)
+
+2. You need to pass the thermal_zone_device to all the callbacks,
+ something that the current cooling device API doesn't do.
+
+Callbacks
+---------
+
+1. u32 get_req_power(struct power_actor *actor,
+ struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
+@...or: a valid `struct power_actor *` registered with
+ `power_actor_register()`
+@tz: the thermal zone closest to the actor (typically, the thermal
+ zone the caller is operating on)
+
+`get_req_power()` returns the current requested power in milliwatts.
+
+2. u32 get_max_power(struct power_actor *actor,
+ struct thermal_zone_device *tz)
+@...or: a valid `struct power_actor *` registered with
+ `power_actor_register()`
+@tz: the thermal zone closest to the actor (typically, the thermal
+ zone the caller is operating on)
+
+`get_max_power()` returns the maximum power that the device could
+consume if it was fully utilized. It's a function as some devices'
+maximum power consumption can change due to external factors such as
+temperature.
+
+3. int set_power(struct power_actor *actor,
+ struct thermal_zone_device *tz, u32 power)
+@...or: a valid `struct power_actor *` registered with
+ `power_actor_register()`
+@tz: the thermal zone closest to the actor (typically, the thermal
+ zone the caller is operating on)
+@...er: power in milliwatts
+
+`set_power()` should configure the device to consume @power
+milliwatts.
+
+Returns 0 on success, -E* on error.
