Not a bugfix, should not be in stable.

3d439b1a2ad3 ("thermal/core: Alloc-copy-free the thermal zone
parameters structure") is not in 6.1, so this is not correct patch for
6.1.

Why was this selected for AUTOSEL? Can you make sure patches marked
"No functional change." are not selected in future?

Best regards,
Pavel
