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.

Peter Feuerer e4dbf98f7f thermal: Added Bang-bang thermal governor
The bang-bang thermal governor uses a hysteresis to switch abruptly on
or off a cooling device.  It is intended to control fans, which can
not be throttled but just switched on or off.
Bang-bang cannot be set as default governor as it is intended for
special devices only.  For those special devices the driver needs to
explicitely request it.
