Subject: [PATCH] drivers: thermal: step_wise: add support for
 hysteresis

Step wise governor increases the mitigation level when the temperature
goes above a threshold and will decrease the mitigation when the
temperature falls below the threshold. If it were a case, where the
temperature hovers around a threshold, the mitigation will be applied
and removed at every iteration. This reaction to the temperature is
inefficient for performance.

The use of hysteresis temperature could avoid this ping-pong of
mitigation by relaxing the mitigation to happen only when the
temperature goes below this lower hysteresis value.
