Subject: Re: [patch 08/12] thermal: add sanity check for the passive attribute

As noted before, I'm not a fan of this approach - I can't think of many 
reasons why it'd be necessary to use temperatures below 1 degree C, but 
this constraint isn't present anywhere else in the thermal code and, 
really, there's plenty of things that people can break if they just echo 
incorrect values into /sys.
