cgroup is about allocating runtime to a group but you want to force a
system idle for power consideration so it looks like abusing the
interface

Yes, idle injection is  device-independent and fit better with your needs

thermal framework already support cpu idle cooling device but I'm not
sure your case is only related to thermal so you might want a more
generic interface like powercap--> dtpm --> idle injection
