mlxsw: core: Extend cooling device with cooling levels
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.
