Thermal: Add a notification API
This patch adds a notification API which the sensor drivers' can use to notify the framework. The framework then takes care of the throttling according to the configured policy. Signed-off-by: Durgadoss R <durgadoss.r@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
