  This patch set adds two improvements to get a finer control over the
impact of thermal throttling on performance.

 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.

---
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.
