TMU driver description:

The exynos thermal driver is structured as,

TMU configuration data -------> TMU Driver <------> Exynos Core thermal wrapper
(exynos_tmu_data.c) (exynos_tmu.c) (exynos_thermal_common.c)
(exynos_tmu_data.h) (exynos_tmu.h) (exynos_thermal_common.h)
a) TMU configuration data: This consist of TMU register offsets/bitfields
described through structure exynos_tmu_registers. Also several
other platform data (struct exynos_tmu_platform_data) members
are used to configure the TMU.
b) TMU driver: This component initialises the TMU controller and sets different
thresholds. It invokes core thermal implementation with the call
exynos_report_trigger.
c) Exynos Core thermal wrapper: This provides 3 wrapper function to use the
Kernel core thermal framework. They are exynos_unregister_thermal,
exynos_register_thermal and exynos_report_trigger.
