+CPU cooling APIs How To

+0. Introduction
+
+The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping) provides registration/unregistration APIs
+to the caller. The binding of the cooling devices to the trip point is left for
+the user. The registration APIs returns the cooling device pointer.
+
+1. cpu cooling APIs
+
+1.1 cpufreq registration/unregistration APIs
+1.1.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register(
+	struct cpumask *clip_cpus)
+
+    This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with the name
+    "thermal-cpufreq-%x". This api can support multiple instances of cpufreq
+    cooling devices.
+
+   clip_cpus: cpumask of cpus where the frequency constraints will happen.
+
+1.1.2 void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev)
+
+    This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpufreq-%x" cooling device.
+
+    cdev: Cooling device pointer which has to be unregistered.
