Subject: [Patch v6 0/2] Add support for _TFP and change throttle pctg

This patch set adds two improvements to get a finer control over the
impact of thermal throttling on performance. Requesting to merge the
patches if no further changes needed.

 1) Patch 1: Adds support to read "Thermal fast Sampling Period (_TFP)"
    ACPI object and use it over "Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP)" for
    Passive cooling if both are present.

 2) Patch 2: Adds support to reduce the CPUFREQ reduction percentage
    and not always cause throttling in steps of "20%" for Tegra241 SoC.

Both patches can be applied independently.

---
v5[5] -> 6:
- Patch 1: rename passive_delay variable to delay [Rafael]
         : re-structured the if check when reading _TFP [Rafael]
- Patch 2: compile thermal_cpufreq.c by default [Sudeep]
         : rename arch hook to acpi_arch_thermal_cpufreq_pctg() [Sudeep]
         : move null functions from acpi.h to internal.h [Rafael]
         : rename existing reduction_pctg to reduction_step
         : rename cpufreq_thermal_pctg to cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg
         : update formula to get same num of max steps as old with 20%

v4[4] -> 5:
- Patch 2: fix kernel robot warning for acpi_thermal_cpufreq_pctg().

v3[3] -> 4:
- Patch 2: move ARM code from generic to new file 'thermal_cpufreq.c'.
         : get 'cpufreq_thermal_pctg' value for Tegra241 from new file.
         : move dummy/null function to 'acpi.h'.

v2[2] -> v3:
- Patch1: rebased on top of linux-next.
- Patch2: use __read_mostly for the cpufreq_thermal_* variables.
        : add static to new function acpi_thermal_cpufreq_config_nvidia.
        : add null function if CONFIG_HAVE_ARM_SMCCC_DISCOVERY undefined
        : removed redundant parenthesis.

v1[1] -> v2:
- Patch1: add ACPI spec section info in commit description and rebased.
- Patch2: add info about hardware in the commit description.
        : switched CPUFREQ THERMAL tuning macros to static variables.
        : update the tunings for Tegra241 SoC only using soc_id check.
