On second thoughts...

The question about cooling-*-state has come up in another thread as
well [0]. I'll re-iterate the question for the thermal maintainers to
clarify.

The cooling-{max,min}-state properties are marked mandatory in the
bindings but aren't used in the code anywhere. Can we drop those
properties from the binding documentation? Or at the least, make them optional?
