Documentation: thermal: document of_cpufreq_cooling_register()v3.18/topic/thermal-deps
Commit 39d99cff76bf ("thermal: cpu_cooling: introduce of_cpufreq_cooling_register") taught the cpu cooling device to register devices that were linked to the device tree but didn't update the cpu-cooling-api documentation. Fix it.
