Hi Krzysztof,
    Thanks for your review.

There are some differences here. The thermal zone goes through a 
software-controlled process and eventually triggers a restart or 
shutdown. There is some time between the temperature reaching the 
threshold and the actual restart or shutdown. In contrast, this 
attribute configures a hardware-level protection mechanism that directly 
triggers a restart when the temperature reaches the configured threshold.

If that's the case, do I also get it from Thermal zones?

The new device requires two clocks. I will add restrictive conditions 
accordingly.
