The firmware loader should be done differently:

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/84814/

and I suspect that Wolfram may have skipped the thermal one as having been
done by another patch (that I didn't merge, due to having questions about
the whole issue, but that I don't have any objections to)

But maybe there is also some limitation to the coccinelle rule too.
