This patch introduces a new interface for device drivers connected to
devfreq_cooling in the thermal framework: get_real_power().
Some devices have more sophisticated methods (like power counters)
to approximate the actual power that they use.
In the previous implementation we had a pre-calculated power
table which was then scaled by 'utilization'
('busy_time' and 'total_time' taken from devfreq 'last_status').
With this new interface the driver can provide more precise data
regarding actual power to the thermal governor every time the power
budget is calculated. We then use this value and calculate the real
resource utilization scaling factor.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
