Subject: ACPI: Reject below-freezing temperatures as invalid critical temperatures
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a39a2d7c72b358c6253a2ec28e17b023b7f6f41c;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

ACPI: Reject below-freezing temperatures as invalid critical temperatures

My laptop thinks that it's a good idea to give -73C as the critical
CPU temperature.... which isn't the best thing since it causes a shutdown
right at bootup.

Temperatures below freezing are clearly invalid critical thresholds
so just reject these as such.
