I have no intention to delay this patch. In fact, since I'm using the
latest unmodified stable kernel on my T14s, I'm also suffering from
these thermal issues. :-)

On the other hand, we are at the beginning of the merge window and Bjorn
is unlikely to queue patches until that ends. The changes that
I suggested are purely cosmetic (the names of the thermal zones), there
is no need to repeat the thermal validation. The throttling behavior
will be identical no matter which name is used for the thermal zones.

IMO we should use the remaining time until the merge window ends to
correct the naming to avoid any confusion for people reading the patch
once it lands.

Thanks,
Stephan
