If "skin therm" means "the temperature of some part of the phone's
body that can be felt with a human hand", then definitely some
throttling should happen at 40ish with heavy throttling at 50
and crit at 55 or so..

We should probably make this a broader topic and keep a single
policy for all supported phones.

+ CC AGdR, may be interested in where this leads
