Extend cooling device with cooling levels vector to allow more flexibility of PWM setting. Thermal zone algorithm operates with the numerical states for PWM setting. Each state is the index, defined in range from 0 to 10 and it's mapped to the relevant duty cycle value, which is written to PWM controller. With the current definition fan speed is set to 0% for state 0, 10% for state 1, and so on up to 100% for the maximum state 10. Some systems have limitation for the PWM speed minimum. For such systems PWM setting speed to 0% will just disable the ability to increase speed anymore and such device will be stall on zero speed. Cooling levels allow to configure state vector according to the particular system requirements. For example, if PWM speed is not allowed to be below 30%, cooling levels could be configured as 30%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 40%, 50% and so on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
