[10/10] dt-bindings: thermal: Remove "cooling-{min|max}-level" properties

The "cooling-min-level" and "cooling-max-level" properties are not
parsed by any part of kernel currently and the max cooling state of a
CPU cooling device is found by referring to the cpufreq table instead.

Remove the unused bindings.

What about non-CPU devices? A fan for example.

Even they aren't using these properties. The gpio-fan binding[1] for
example uses the "gpio-fan,speed-map" property instead to find the
number of states it supports.

@Zhang/Eduardo: Can you please pick this patch (10/10) as almost everything else
is already lined up for 4.17 ?

I think Eduardo should have reviewed all the DT thermal patches in the
list, but I didn't see his response about this one.

Eduardo,
did you miss this one?

thanks,
