That's better - but while I can agree about setting a general temperature
for that, I still have a few questions and requests:

1. Why is this 68°C? Was that value provided by MediaTek, or was it calculated?
 1b. If this was calculated, please, can you explain how?

2. The power allocator documentation also says that the governor works good
   when a "sustainable dissipatable power" parameter is fed to it through the
   `sustainable-power` devicetree property (with that being strictly board
   specific and never SoC-global, as that depends on the form factor and on
   the cooling method of the machine), can you please also add the right
   sustainable power indication to the Chromebook devicetrees?
   In the MT8192 specific case, that's mt8192-asurada.dtsi.

3. I just noticed that MT8192 is not the only one that would be affected by
   the issue that you're describing in this commit; can you please perform a
   similar change on the others, if parameters are known?

Thanks,
Angelo
