[next] Odroid XU3 easily over-heats

Hi all,

With recent addition of cpufreq-dt support to Exynos5422
it is very easy to over-heat the Odroid XU3 leading to critical shutdown:
[  132.622032] thermal thermal_zone3: critical temperature reached(121 C),shutting down


Reproduction:
0. next-20160212 (with recent fix for OPP from Viresh)
1. multi_v7 (on exynos defconfig there is no cpufreq for Exynos5422)
2. Run following test script:
https://github.com/krzk/tools/blob/master/tests/odroid-xu3-cpu-mmc-stress.sh

(the script essentially does only "cat /dev/mmcblk0p2 | gzip -c > /dev/null" for each CPU)

Observe, just before shutdown:

/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/cur_state:3
/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/max_state:3
/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/type:pwm-fan

Fan is working but shutdown is immediate.

What about cpufreq as cooling device? Probably that part
is missing now, right?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
