[merged mm-nonmm-stable] dt-bindings-thermal-give-os-some-leeway-in-absence-of-critical-action.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: dt-bindings: thermal: give OS some leeway in absence of critical-action
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     dt-bindings-thermal-give-os-some-leeway-in-absence-of-critical-action.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

Subject: dt-bindings: thermal: give OS some leeway in absence of critical-action
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2025 21:39:50 +0100

An operating system may allow its user to configure the action to be
undertaken on critical overtemperature events.

However, the bindings currently mandate an absence of the critical-action
property to be equal to critical-action = "shutdown", which would mean any
differing user configuration would violate the bindings.

Resolve this by documenting the absence of the property to mean that the
OS gets to decide.
