[RESEND][PATCH v2 3/3] dt-bindings: thermal: update sustainable-power with abstract scale

[RESEND][PATCH v2 3/3] dt-bindings: thermal: update sustainable-power with abstract scale

[Lukasz Luba]

Update the documentation for the binding 'sustainable-power' and allow
to provide values in an abstract scale. It is required when the cooling
devices use an abstract scale for their power values.

Hi Rob,
 
This is a fixed patch for DT binding, which now passes the
make dt_binding_check (I have changed tabs into spaces).
The former patch error that I have received is here [1]. 

Regards,
Lukasz

...and because I suspect you might not look at any patches that fail
your auto-checker, I'd appreciate it if you could comment on the
discussion on the previous version of the patch.  Thanks!  :-)
