I had to use the same subject because the email weren't threaded.
The subject was the only way to group the patches.

The next time I will use git send-email (which I hate !), so this
problem will disappear.

I definitely agree. I will work on that in the next few days

I removed the "if" because the same printk() happens before (the tune_fan()
function is called after the 2nd printk() ).
So remove the "if" is safe.

I agree that a better explanation in the comments helps. Because I have to
update the patch for the log_temp/verbose module parameters, I will enhance
the patch description.
