That was my starting point, however in my tests the system reset
several times when the temperature got close to 125?C, not allowing
for a proper shutdown. Apparently the partial shutdown of the PMIC can
result in a full reset at least on some systems.

Correct

Exactly, once we have more granularity we could add (an)other trip point(s).

Ok, thanks, will do in v3
