Hi Barlomiej,

Thanks for looking into the series.

@Daniel can you see below?

@Daniel:

How does this compare to

"Just:

thermal_zone_device_get_mode()
thermal_zone_device_set_mode()
thermal_zone_device_disable()
thermal_zone_device_enable()

And all of them in drivers/thermal/thermal_core.h". Did I understand
you correctly?
