Hi all,

TL;DR: no more concerns from my side.

Makes sense.

Ah, I haven't noticed x86_pkg_temp_thermal driver can be disabled in the runtime
(otherwise there is always /sys/class/thermal/ when compiled with
CONFIG_X86_THERMAL_VECTOR). But sure, let's keep it this way, I also don't want
to block this effort.

I'm sorry, I overlooked you asked for it.

Kind regards,
