When the devfreq cooling device was designed, it was an oversight not to
pass a pointer to the struct devfreq as the first parameters of the
callbacks. The design patterns of the kernel suggest it for a good
reason.
By passing a pointer to struct devfreq, the driver can register one
function that works with multiple devices. With the current
implementation, a driver that can work with multiple devices has to
create multiple copies of the same function with different parameters so
that each devfreq_cooling_device can use the appropriate one. By
passing a pointer to struct devfreq, the driver can identify which
device it's referring to.

Currently the protection #ifdef CONFIG_DEVFREQ_THERMAL cuts the needed
structures devfreq_cooling_ops and devfreq_cooling_device.
The functions which are supposed to provide the empty implementation complain
about unknown structures.
Similar solution is present in include/linux/devfreq.h.

unregister
Be consistent with what other cooling devices do and return a struct
thermal_cooling_device * on register. Also, for the unregister, accept
a struct thermal_cooling_device * as parameter.

Add a generic thermal cooling device for devfreq, that is similar to
cpu_cooling.
The device must use devfreq. In order to use the power extension of the
cooling device, it must have registered its OPPs using the OPP library.
