Hi Rui,

I suppose this is dethrotle routine and hence this will be called when
only drop in temperature happens. Also I did not used get_target_state
here because I thought it might cause regression in the other existing
thermal drivers(I am not sure) But I guess calling get_target_state is
the good way to know next target state and is fine if you agree.
Also one suggestion, 2 functions for throttle/dethrottle can be merged
as both look same and just get_target_state can be used in that
function

Thanks,
Amit Daniel
