Is that:

commit 0cac73eb3875f6ecb6105e533218dba1868d04c9
Merge: 94df82fe5bfd 350cbb5d2f67
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

    Merge tag 'pm-6.10-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
    
    Pull power management fix from Rafael Wysocki:
     "Restore the behavior of the no_turbo sysfs attribute in the
      intel_pstate driver which allowed users to make the driver start using
      turbo P-states if they have been enabled on the fly by the firmware
      after OS initialization (Rafael Wysocki)"
    
    * tag 'pm-6.10-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm:
      cpufreq: intel_pstate: Check turbo_is_disabled() in store_no_turbo()


? I don't think I tweaking no_turbo in the sysfs.

But the thermal stuff looks important:

commit cee84c0b003f2e0f486f200a72eca2bcdb3a49a7
Merge: d20f6b3d747c b6846826982b
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>
Date:   Fri Jun 14 09:28:56 2024 -0700

    Merge tag 'thermal-6.10-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm

So I guess I'll have to try again.

Thanks and best regards,
							Pavel
