Subject: [PATCH v2 15/16] thermal/drivers/acerhdf: Remove pointless governor test

The thermal zone parameter specifies the bang-bang governor.

The Kconfig selects the bang-bang governor. So it is pointless to test
if the governor was set for the thermal zone assuming it may not have
been compiled-in.

Remove the test and prevent another access into the thermal internals.
