Pull thermal management updates from Zhang Rui:
 "Sorry that I missed the merge window as there is a bug found in the
  last minute, and I have to fix it and wait for the code to be tested
  in linux-next tree for a few days.  Now the buggy patch has been
  dropped entirely from my next branch.  Thus I hope those changes can
  still be merged in 3.18-rc2 as most of them are platform thermal
  driver changes.

  Specifics:

   - introduce ACPI INT340X thermal drivers.

     Newer laptops and tablets may have thermal sensors and other
     devices with thermal control capabilities that are exposed for the
     OS to use via the ACPI INT340x device objects.  Several drivers are
     introduced to expose the temperature information and cooling
     ability from these objects to user-space via the normal thermal
     framework.

     From: Lu Aaron, Lan Tianyu, Jacob Pan and Zhang Rui.

   - introduce a new thermal governor, which just uses a hysteresis to
     switch abruptly on/off a cooling device.  This governor can be used
     to control certain fan devices that can not be throttled but just
     switched on or off.  From: Peter Feuerer.

   - introduce support for some new thermal interrupt functions on
     i.MX6SX, in IMX thermal driver.  From: Anson, Huang.

   - introduce tracing support on thermal framework.  From: Punit
     Agrawal.

   - small fixes in OF thermal and thermal step_wise governor"

we share the same driver for both ACPI predefined Fan device
and INT3404 Fan device, thus we should select the ACPI Fan
driver when int340x thermal drivers are enabeld.

<title>thermal: replace strnicmp with strncasecmp</title>

The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and
a slightly buggy strncasecmp.  The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp
was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new
strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.

To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the
future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

ACPI 4.0 introduced two thermal relationship tables via _ART
(active cooling) and  _TRT (passive cooling) objects. These
tables contain many to many relationships among thermal sensors
and cooling devices.

This patch parses _ART and _TRT and makes the result available to
the userspace via an misc device interface. At the same time,
kernel drivers can also request parsing results from internal
kernel APIs.

The results include source and target devices, influence, and
sampling rate in case of _TRT. For _ART, the result shows source
device, target device, and weight percentage.

ACPI INT3403 device object can be used to retrieve temperature date

device' performance control.

The previous INT3403 thermal driver supports temperature reporting only,
thus remove it and introduce this new &amp; enhanced one.
