I checked the code of exynos driver, it fails to load if no
cpufreq_cooling device found, which means it depends on CPU_THERMAL.

I'm not sure if this is the behavior you want, but IMO, exynos driver
should register its critical trip point to the generic thermal layer
instead, when CPU_THERMAL is not set.
