- IMO netlink message should also be treated as we treat other ABIs. So
add only when this is a must. Although here GENL version is incremented
, users are not that careful. At least on x86, we know users created
their own applications.


- Here the concern is temperature is changing so fast then netlink +
user space processing latency is enough to change further to read
temperature again. Atleast we assume that and read temperature again.
So not sure that this is the right approach to add another field for
the temperature.


Thanks,
Srinivas
