The Stage 3 thermal threshold is currently configured during
the controller initialization to 105 Celsius. From the kernel
perspective, this configuration is harmful because:
* The stage 3 interrupt that gets triggered when the threshold is
crossed is not handled in any way by the IRQ handler, it just gets
cleared. Besides, the temperature used for stage 3 comes from the
sensors, and the critical thermal trip points described in the
Devicetree will already cause a shutdown when crossed (at a lower
temperature, of 100 Celsius, for all SoCs currently using this
driver).
* The only effect of crossing the stage 3 threshold that has been
observed is that it causes the machine to no longer be able to enter
suspend. Even if that was a result of a momentary glitch in the
temperature reading of a sensor (as has been observed on the
MT8192-based Chromebooks).

For those reasons, disable the Stage 3 thermal threshold configuration.

Does this stage 3 not designed to reset the system ? So the interrupt line should be attached to the reset line ? (just asking)
