When converting the thermal-zones bindings to yaml the definition of the
contribution property changed. The intention is the same, an integer
value expressing a ratio of a sum on how much cooling is provided by the
device to the zone. But after the conversion the integer value is
limited to the range 0 to 100 and expressed as a percentage.
This is problematic for two reasons.
- This do not match how the binding is used. Out of the 18 files that
make use of the property only two (ste-dbx5x0.dtsi and
ste-hrefv60plus.dtsi) sets it at a value that satisfy the binding,
100. The remaining 16 files set the value higher and fail to validate.
- Expressing the value as a percentage instead of a ratio of the sum is
confusing as there is nothing to enforce the sum in the zone is not
greater then 100.
This patch restore the pre yaml conversion description and removes the
value limitation allowing the usage of the bindings to validate.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
