Dear Zhang, Eduardo

Do you have any comments/feedback for me regarding this thermal
framework related patch?

I've already received some feedback from Durga for this patch, but I
think that maintainers are most welcome to express their opinion :-)

Thanks in advance.

> This patch provides auto disable/enable operation for boost. When any

> When device cools down, the boost is enabled again.
