[RFC] thermal/core: Disable uevent messages for cooling devices

From: Roman Stratiienko
Date: Sun Jul 10 2022 - 12:40:46 EST


During suspend, the big CPU cluster is turned off first while a little
is still running. This forcibly unregisters the cooling device which
sends a "REMOVE" uevent to all subscribers [1].

In case userspace netlink subscriber has set the EPOLLWAKEUP flag, a
wakeup event is triggered that causes suspend to be aborted.

Without this change, suspend doesn't work on PinePhone PRO with AOSP
userland.
