[PATCH v2 2/2] power: charger-manager: Avoid recursive thermal get_temp call

Krzysztof Kozlowski

The charger manager supports POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP property and acts
as a thermal zone if any of these conditions match:
1. Fuel gauge used by charger manager supports POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP.
2. 'cm-thermal-zone' property is present in DTS (then it will supersede
the fuel gauge temperature property).

However in case 1 (fuel gauge reports temperature and 'cm-thermal-zone'
is not set) the charger manager forwards its get_temp calls to fuel
gauge thermal zone.

This leads to reporting by lockdep a false positive deadlock for thermal
zone's mutex because of nested calls to thermal_zone_get_temp(). This is
false positive because these are different mutexes: one for charger
manager thermal zone and second for fuel gauge thermal zone.

Get rid of false lockdep alert and recursive call by setting
'no_thermal' property for this power supply class. The thermal zone for
charger manager won't be created (user space does not use it anyway).

The lockdep report:

Changes since v1:
1. Use newly introduced 'no_thermal' property to fix the issue
definitely. Previously only one path was solved.
