---------------------------
sim: Thermal support for Linux

This patch enables Linux to read the temperature using hwmon infrastructure.
In order to use this in your gem5 you need to compile the kernel using the
following configs:

CONFIG_HWMON=y
CONFIG_SENSORS_VEXPRESS=y

And a proper dts file (containing an entry such as):

dcc {
 compatible = "arm,vexpress,config-bus";
 arm,vexpress,config-bridge = <&v2m_sysreg>;

  temp@0 {
   compatible = "arm,vexpress-temp";
   arm,vexpress-sysreg,func = <4 0>;
   label = "DCC";
  };
};
