drm/etnaviv: add etnaviv cooling device
Each Vivante GPU contains a clock divider which can divide the GPU clock by 2^n, which can lower the power dissipation from the GPU. It has been suggested that the GC600 on Dove is responsible for 20-30% of the power dissipation from the SoC, so lowering the GPU clock rate provides a way to throttle the power dissiptation, and reduce the temperature when the SoC gets hot. This patch hooks the Etnaviv driver into the kernel's thermal management to allow the GPUs to be throttled when necessary, allowing a reduction in GPU clock rate from /1 to /64 in power of 2 steps.
