[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: docs: thermal: sync hardware protection doc with code
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     docs-thermal-sync-hardware-protection-doc-with-code.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Originally, the thermal framework's only hardware protection action was to
trigger a shutdown.  This has been changed a little over a year ago to
also support rebooting as alternative hardware protection action.

Update the documentation to reflect this.
