Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] thermal: core: Record PSCR before hw_protection_shutdown()

Enhance the thermal core to record the Power State Change Reason (PSCR)
prior to invoking hw_protection_shutdown(). This change integrates the
PSCR framework with the thermal subsystem, ensuring that reasons for
power state changes, such as overtemperature events, are stored in a
dedicated non-volatile memory (NVMEM) cell.

This 'black box' recording is crucial for post-mortem analysis, enabling
a deeper understanding of system failures and abrupt shutdowns,
especially in scenarios where PMICs or watchdog timers are incapable of
logging such events.  The recorded data can be utilized during system
recovery routines in the bootloader or early kernel stages of subsequent
boots, significantly enhancing system diagnostics, reliability, and
debugging capabilities.
