I am much happier with this approach, much cleaner and does the job. On
the other hand, this patch introduces a compilation warning that we want
to avoid:
drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: In function 'policy_store':
drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c:708: warning: passing argument 1 of
'strim' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
include/linux/string.h:63: note: expected 'char *' but argument is of
type 'const char *'
