Hi Di,

I have missed your v4 because it landed below your v3 thread.

I agree with Rafael. Maybe change that to debug print, so that can be
checked during the product testing. We cannot do much if that happens.

That thermal_governor::reset() callback is what I had im mind while
giving you the feedback for the v1. Now it's much cleaner what is going
on and why.

Apart from some small bits, LGTM. Please adjust the comment in the patch
header and this debug print and you can add:
