Sascha Hauer 17e8351a77 thermal: consistently use int for temperatures
The thermal code uses int, long and unsigned long for temperatures
in different places.

Using an unsigned type limits the thermal framework to positive
temperatures without need. Also several drivers currently will report
temperatures near UINT_MAX for temperatures below 0°C. This will probably
immediately shut the machine down due to overtemperature if started below
0°C.

'long' is 64bit on several architectures. This is not needed since INT_MAX °mC
is above the melting point of all known materials.

Consistently use a plain 'int' for temperatures throughout the thermal code and
the drivers. This only changes the places in the drivers where the temperature
is passed around as pointer, when drivers internally use another type this is
not changed.

Javi Merino ea54cac906 thermal: power_allocator: round the division when divvying up power
In situations where there is an uneven number of cooling devices, the
division of power among them can lead to a milliwatt being dropped on
the floor due to rounding errors.  This doesn't sound like a lot, but
some devices only grant the lowest cooling device state for their
maximum power.  So for instance, if the granted_power is the maximum
power and all devices are getting their maximum power, one would get
max_power - 1, making it choose cooling device state 1, instead of 0.

Round the division to make the calculation more accurate.

Javi Merino 6b775e870c thermal: introduce the Power Allocator governor
The power allocator governor is a thermal governor that controls system
and device power allocation to control temperature.  Conceptually, the
implementation divides the sustainable power of a thermal zone among
all the heat sources in that zone.

This governor relies on "power actors", entities that represent heat
sources.  They can report current and maximum power consumption and
can set a given maximum power consumption, usually via a cooling
device.

The governor uses a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller
driven by the temperature of the thermal zone.  The output of the
controller is a power budget that is then allocated to each power
actor that can have bearing on the temperature we are trying to
control.  It decides how much power to give each cooling device based
on the performance they are requesting.  The PID controller ensures
that the total power budget does not exceed the control temperature.
