Yeah it's not say it's a "new" conflict, it would just become a lot more prevalent since software like GNOME and KDE use power-profiles-daemon to manipulate the new power profile you're exporting from the driver.

If there really is no conflict, then great!
If there is a conflict then I was just wondering if there needs to be an easy way to turn on/off the profile support when thermald is in use.

This shouldn't be in conflict as this should be directly changing some settings in BIOS. BIOS should send some notification, if it wants some changes in thermal tables used by thermald.


Thanks,

If we do not think there is a conflict I can leave it without a toggle.
