 is disabled


Hi Manaf,

semantically speaking disabling a thermal zone would be to detach the
thermal zone from its governor and stop the monitoring.

May be add the functions

 - thermal_governor_attach(struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
   {
        ...
        if (tz->governor && tz->governor->bind_to_tz) {
                if (tz->governor->bind_to_tz(tz)) {
	}
        ...
   }

 - thermal_governor_detach(struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
   {
        ...
        if (tz->governor && tz->governor->unbind_from_tz)
                tz->governor->unbind_from_tz(tz);
        ...
   }

And add in the step_wise and power_allocator the reset of the governor's
data as well as the cooling device instances in the unbind_from_tz()
callback

Then, thermal_zone_device_enable() attaches and
thermal_zone_device_disable() detaches the governor.

Does it make sense ?
