 From my perspective, the current material in the thermal tree is work 
in progress and the thermal tree is merged via the pm tree anyway.

So I think that it would be better to merge it into linux-next through 
the linux-next branch of the pm tree as a general rule.

In my view the material from Guenter is important bug fixes and it takes 
precedence over any cleanups and new code.

In any case, sorry for the trouble.
