10	0. Introduction
11	
12	The generic cpu cooling(freq clipping) provides registration/unregistration APIs
13	to the caller. The binding of the cooling devices to the trip point is left for
14	the user. The registration APIs returns the cooling device pointer.

16	1. cpu cooling APIs

18	1.1 cpufreq registration/unregistration APIs
19	1.1.1 struct thermal_cooling_device *cpufreq_cooling_register(
20		struct cpumask *clip_cpus)
21	
22	    This interface function registers the cpufreq cooling device with the name
23	    "thermal-cpufreq-%x". This api can support multiple instances of cpufreq
24	    cooling devices.
25	
26	   clip_cpus: cpumask of cpus where the frequency constraints will happen.
27	
28	1.1.2 void cpufreq_cooling_unregister(struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev)
29	
30	    This interface function unregisters the "thermal-cpufreq-%x" cooling device.
31	
32	    cdev: Cooling device pointer which has to be unregistered.
