Hi Matthias,

sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Too bad :(

PM6350 is detected as QPNP_TM_SUBTYPE_GEN2 so gen2 actually. Just the
log message is hardcoded to 140 degC, the if above actually has
stage2_threshold_max = 125000 (125degC) and stage2_threshold_min =
110000 (110degC) so lower than 140 (basically like you said).

Based on this, do you think it's reasonable to just set the limit to
125 degC and be done with it? Or some other way to resolve this? I'd of
course mention in the commit message that I've decreased the value from
145 (msm-4.19) to 125.
