Currently the CPUs are used as cooling devices of the rk3288 GPU
thermal zone. The CPUs are also configured as cooling devices in the
CPU thermal zone, which indirectly helps with cooling the GPU thermal
zone, since the CPU and GPU temperatures are correlated on the rk3288.

Configure the ARM Mali Midgard GPU as cooling device for the GPU
thermal zone instead of the CPUs.

This makes sense to me unless there is some better way to model the
intertwined nature of the CPU and GPU temperature.  It's my
understanding that the original device tree snippet was there because
it was added before the gpu node existed in the device tree so the
best we could do is to suggest that the cpu could cool things down.
