Subject: [PATCH] drivers: thermal: step_wise: add support for hysteresis

From: Ram Chandrasekar <rkumbako@...eaurora.org>

Currently, step wise governor increases the mitigation when the
temperature goes above a threshold and decreases the mitigation when the
temperature goes below the threshold. If there is a case where the
temperature is wavering around the threshold, the mitigation will be
applied and removed every iteration, which is not very efficient.

The use of hysteresis temperature could avoid this ping-pong of
mitigation by relaxing the mitigation to happen only when the
temperature goes below this lower hysteresis value.
