Please change your patch subject. It suggests you are changing the
locking mechanism in the entire thermal subsystem, which is not true.

ditto for your patch description.


While you are there, looks like your lock needs a better documentation.
I would suggest you to add a description of what data it protects and
not leaving only documentation of where it it used.

Also, in your code it is not clear what is interrupt context and what is
not interrupt context. Now that you have found that you have the need to
use this lock in both context, please document it.
