Hi Goffredo,

You messed up your Cc's ;-)

This comment seems useless.

Typo: Verbosity

Trailing dot is not needed.

I think it is a good idea to have all the printing in a single place.

No space before closing parenthesis. I know the original code did not
follow the standard coding style but you have the opportunity to make
it better. Same many times below. scripts/checkpatch.pl tells you about
that and many other style issues, most of which are easily fixable.

Also don't you want to log changes of case temperature too?

I think you can do without the "tuned +0" which doesn't add much value.
