The thermal ABI and the internal development details are described in:
Documentation/driver-api/thermal/sysfs-api.rst
Move the sysfs ABI description to Documentation/ABI, ensuring that
scripts/get_abi.pl will properly parse it.
While here, also update the thermal record in MAINTAINERS to point to
the documentation.

- As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now 1.7,
and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely. That allowed the
removal of a bunch of compatibility code.
- A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it
became clear nobody else was going to deal with them.
- The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from relative
paths to RST files.
- More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes.
No conflicts with any other tree as far as I know.

The code was reorganized in 2012 with the commit 0c01ebbfd3.
The main change is a loop on the trip points array and a unconditional
call to the throttle() ops of the governors for each of them even if
the trip temperature is not reached yet.
With this change, the 'forced_passive' is no longer checked in the
thermal_zone_device_update() function but in the step wise governor's
throttle() callback.
As the force_passive does no belong to the trip point array, the
thermal_zone_device_update() can not compare with the specified
passive temperature, thus does not detect the passive limit has been
crossed. Consequently, throttle() is never called and the
'forced_passive' branch is unreached.
In addition, the default processor cooling device is not automatically
bound to the thermal zone if there is not passive trip point, thus the
'forced_passive' can not operate.
If there is an active trip point, then the throttle function will be
called to mitigate at this temperature and the 'forced_passive' will
override the mitigation of the active trip point in this case but with
the default cooling device bound to the thermal zone, so usually a
fan, and that is not a passive cooling effect.
Given the regression exists since more than 8 years, nobody complained
and at the best of my knowledge there is no bug open in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org, it is reasonable to say it is unused.
Remove the 'forced_passive' related code.
