This is more of a sensible topic but I think it's the thermal driver
that needs to implement these. As said in the commit description,
examples are setting higher voltage from the attached regulator,
enabling some hardware heater.
Maybe with critical cold bigger measure can be applied. Currently for
critical trip point we shutdown the system (if the critical ops is not
declared) but with critical_cold condition I think it won't work... I
expect a system in -40°C would just lock up/glitch so rebooting in that
condition won't change a thing...
Anyway yes we can define a shutdown by default for that but IMHO it
wouldn't make much sense.

Stupid mistake in my ""childhood"". Ansuel it's my second name, when I
understood things have started to become more serious I fixed the very
stupid thing and started using correct naming. I'm extremely sorry for
the mistake I did and I know all the problems it does cause doing that.
