Re: [PATCH v2 0/3] gov_power_allocator: Allow binding before cooling devices

[Leonard Lausen]

Hi Nikita, Hi Łukasz,

thank you for fixing the e83747c2f8e3 ("thermal: gov_power_allocator: Set up trip points earlier") and 912e97c67cc3 ("thermal: gov_power_allocator: Move memory allocation out of throttle()") regressions as part of v6.9-rc3. As the regression was introduced in v6.8, would it be possible to include the fix in a v6.8 patch release?

Thank you
Leonard
