Can you give a pointer to this discussion if there is any.

I think a generic thermal netlink interface can get
implemented separately, best without looking at any specific
driver implementation.

Best would be to revert the current patch and send a more generic
implementation with at least these in CC (or other lists maintaining
drivers who might make use of it):
platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org
linux-pm@lists.linux-foundation.org

Then people can bring in their needs and eventually
come up with code making use of it.
