+1.4.1 struct thermal_bind_params
+    This structure defines the following parameters that are used to bind
+    a zone with a cooling device for a particular trip point.
+    .cdev: The cooling device pointer
+    .weight: The 'influence' of a particular cooling device on this zone.
+             This is on a percentage scale. The sum of all these weights
+             (for a particular zone) cannot exceed 100.
+    .trip_mask:This is a bit mask that gives the binding relation between
+               this thermal zone and cdev, for a particular trip point.
+               If nth bit is set, then the cdev and thermal zone are bound
+               for trip point n.
+    .match: This call back returns success(0) if the 'tz and cdev' need to
+	    be bound, as per platform data.
+1.4.2 struct thermal_zone_params
+    This structure defines the platform level parameters for a thermal zone.
+    This data, for each thermal zone should come from the platform layer.
+    This is an optional feature where some platforms can choose not to
+    provide this data.
+    .governor_name: Name of the thermal governor used for this zone
+    .num_tbps: Number of thermal_bind_params entries for this zone
+    .tbp: thermal_bind_params entries

+5. Export Symbol APIs:
+
+5.1: get_tz_trend:
+This function returns the trend of a thermal zone, i.e the rate of change
+of temperature of the thermal zone. Ideally, the thermal sensor drivers
+are supposed to implement the callback. If they don't, the thermal
+framework calculated the trend by comparing the previous and the current
+temperature values.
+
+5.2:get_thermal_instance:
+This function returns the thermal_instance corresponding to a given
+{thermal_zone, cooling_device, trip_point} combination. Returns NULL
+if such an instance does not exist.
+
+5.3:notify_thermal_framework:
+This function handles the trip events from sensor drivers. It starts
+throttling the cooling devices according to the policy configured.
+For CRITICAL and HOT trip points, this notifies the respective drivers,
+and does actual throttling for other trip points i.e ACTIVE and PASSIVE.
+The throttling policy is based on the configured platform data; if no
+platform data is provided, this uses the step_wise throttling policy.
+
+5.4:thermal_cdev_update:
+This function serves as an arbitrator to set the state of a cooling
+device. It sets the cooling device to the deepest cooling state if
+possible.
+
+5.5:thermal_register_governor:
+This function lets the various thermal governors to register themselves
+with the Thermal framework. At run time, depending on a zone's platform
+data, a particular governor is used for throttling.
+
+5.6:thermal_unregister_governor:
+This function unregisters a governor from the thermal framework.
