Hi Guenter,

FWIW from scmi perspective,

Acked-by: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>

I was about to ask for your ack to pickup myself but I see there is no
strict dependency for that. Not sure if you want to take this as fix for
v6.1 as the thermal changes broke the existing support in SCMI hwmon
or do you still prefer v6.2 ?
