thermal: export thermal_zone_parameters to sysfs
It's useful for tuning to be able to edit thermal_zone_parameters from userspace. Export them to the thermal_zone sysfs so that they can be easily changed.

+sustainable_power
+ An estimate of the sustained power that can be dissipated by

+k_po
+ The proportional term of the power allocator governor's PID
+ controller during temperature overshoot. Temperature overshoot
+ is when the current temperature is above the "desired

+k_i
+ The integral term of the power allocator governor's PID

+ Temperature offset from the desired temperature trip point
