fcce7223a5 Completely new thermal/fan implementation
Problems with existing thermal control loop:
* Not multi-board friendly. thermal.c only supports Link and needs
  refactoring. Temp thresholds and fan speeds are hard-coded.
* Only the PECI temp is used to determine the fan speed. Other temp sensors
  are ignored.
* Has confusing data structures. Values in the CPU temp thresholds array mix
  ACPI thresholds with fan step values.

With this change, the thermal task monitors all temp sensors in order to
perform two completely independent functions:

Function one: Determine if the host needs to be throttled by or informed of
              any thermal events.

For thermal events, each temp sensor will have three threshold levels.

TEMP_HOST_WARN
* When any sensor goes above this level, host_throttle_cpu(1) will be called
  to ask the CPU to slow itself down.
* When all sensors drop below this level, host_throttle_cpu(0) will be called.
* Exactly AT this level, nothing happens (this provides hysteresis).

TEMP_HOST_HIGH
* When any sensor goes above this level, chipset_throttle_cpu(1) will be
  called to slow the CPU down whether it wants to or not.
* When all sensors drop below this level, chipset_throttle_cpu(0) will be
  called.
* Exactly AT this level, nothing happens (this provides hysteresis).

TEMP_HOST_SHUTDOWN
* When any sensor is above this level, chipset_force_shutdown() will be
  called to halt the CPU.
* Nothing turns the CPU back on again - the user just has to wait for things
  to cool off. Pressing the power button too soon will just trigger shutdown
  again as soon as the EC can read the host temp.

Function two: Determine the amount of fan cooling needed

For fan cooling, each temp sensor will have two levels.

TEMP_FAN_OFF
* At or below this temperature, no active cooling is needed.

TEMP_FAN_MAX
* At or above this temperature, active cooling should be running at maximum.

The highest level of all temp sensors will be used to request the amount of
active cooling needed. The function pwm_fan_percent_to_rpm() is invoked to
convert the amount of cooling to the target fan RPM.

The default pwm_fan_percent_to_rpm() function converts smoothly between the
configured CONFIG_PWM_FAN_RPM_MIN and CONFIG_PWM_FAN_RPM_MAX for percentages
between 1 and 100. 0% means "off".

The default function probably provide the smoothest and quietest behavior,
but individual boards can provide their own pwm_fan_percent_to_rpm() to
implement whatever curves, hysteresis, feedback, or other hackery they wish.

Compile-time test with

  make BOARD=falco runtests

On the EC console, the existing fan commands should work correctly:

  faninfo       - display the fan state
  fanduty NUM   - force the fan PWM to the specified percentage (0-100)
  fanset RPM    - force the fan to the specified RPM
  fanset NUM%   - force the fan to the specified percentage (0-100) between
                  its configured minimum and maximum speeds from board.h
                  (CONFIG_PWM_FAN_RPM_MIN and CONFIG_PWM_FAN_RPM_MAX)
  fanauto       - let the EC control the fan automatically

You can test the default pwm_fan_percent_to_rpm() with

  fanset 1%
  faninfo

The fan should be turning at CONFIG_PWM_FAN_RPM_MIN. Let the EC control it
automatically again with

  fanauto

Also on the EC console, the thermal settings can be examined or changed:

  > temps
  PECI                : 327 K = 54 C
  ECInternal          : 320 K = 47 C
  G781Internal        : 319 K = 46 C
  G781External        : 318 K = 45 C

From the host, ectool can be used to get and set these parameters with
nearly identical commands:

  ectool thermalget
  ectool thermalset 2 -1 -1 999

873e4425c5 Remove unneeded direct includes of board.h and config.h
Both of these are included via common.h, which is in turn included by
most other header files.  Directly including board.h or config.h is
redundant and discouraged.

No code changes, just removing #includes.

This is in preparation for making a top-level config.h file, but that
change will be easier to review if it doesn't touch as many files.

89e688a332 Revert "Add thermal engine test"
Time-scale functionality is temporarily reverted and this test
is now taking too long. Revert this test now. Will add it back
when we solve the time-scale issue.
