Thermal: exynos: Add sysfs node supporting exynos's emulation mode. This patch supports exynos's emulation mode with newly created sysfs node. Exynos 4x12 (4212, 4412) and 5 series provide emulation mode for thermal management unit. Thermal emulation mode supports software debug for TMU's operation.

EXYNOS EMULATION MODE
========================

Description
-----------
Exynos 4x12 (4212, 4412) and 5 series provide emulation mode for thermal management unit.
Thermal emulation mode supports software debug for TMU's operation. User can set temperature
manually with software code and TMU will read current temperature from user value not from
sensor's value.
thermal: exynos: Adapt to temperature emulation core thermal framework This removes the driver specific sysfs support of the temperature emulation and uses the newly added core thermal framework for thermal emulation. An exynos platform specific handler is added to support this. In this patch, the exynos senor(tmu) related code and exynos framework related (thermal zone, cooling devices) code are intentionally kept separate. So an emulated function pointer is passed from sensor to framework. This is beneficial in adding more sensor support using the same framework code which is an ongoing work. The goal is to finally split them totally. Even the existing read_temperature also follows the same execution method.

Enabling CONFIG_THERMAL_EMULATION option will make this support available.
When it's enabled, sysfs node will be created as
/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone'zone id'/emul_temp.

changing temperature. However, this node only uses same delay of real sensing time, 938us.)
Exynos emulation mode requires synchronous of value changing and enabling. It means when you
want to update the any value of delay or next temperature, then you have to enable emulation
mode at the same time. (Or you have to keep the mode enabling.) If you don't, it fails to
change the value to updated one and just use last succeessful value repeatedly. That's why
this node gives users the right to change termerpature only. Just one interface makes it more
simply to use.
Disabling emulation mode only requires writing value 0 to sysfs node.
