Subject: [PATCH 4/8] thermal/drivers/Kconfig: Convert the CPU cooling device to a choice

The next changes will add new way to cool down a CPU. In order to
sanitize and make the overall cpu cooling code consistent and robust
we must prevent the cpu cooling devices to co-exists with the same
purpose at the same time in the kernel.

Make the CPU cooling device a choice in the Kconfig, so only one CPU
cooling strategy can be chosen.

 	  This implements the generic cpu cooling mechanism through frequency
 	  reduction. An ACPI version of this already exists
 	  (drivers/acpi/processor_thermal.c).
 	  This will be useful for platforms using the generic thermal interface
 	  and not the ACPI interface.
