Add basic thermal driver for bcm2835 SOC.

This driver currently relies on the firmware setting up the
tsense HW block and does not set it up itself.

Signed-off-by: Martin Sperl <redacted>

ChangeLog:
?V1 -> V2: added specific settings depending on compatiblity
	???added trip point based on register
	???setting up ctrl-register if HW is not enabled by firmware
	?????as per recommendation of Eric (untested)
	???check that clock frequency is in range
	?????(1.9 - 5MHz - as per comment in clk-bcm2835.c)

I notice that the polling_delay is set to 0, but we're not using
interrupts to trigger the trip.??Is it valid to expose a trip
without a
polling_delay or interrupts???Should passive_delay be set as well?

This is up to the thermal maintainers.??As far as I'm concerned,
it's:

One it lands I'll pull the defconfig and DT bits.

Ping on this question to thermal maintainers.??I'd still love to see
this driver land.

hmmm, how is this driver supposed to work?
With this patch set, I think the only benefit is that we can get the
temperature and trip point information via thermal sysfs interface, but
kernel thermal control is a no-op here, right?

Yeah.  It seems useful to be able to get the information.  Once we land
this, I hope someone can add interrupt support so that there are actual
trip points.
