Hi maintainer,
I'm fairly new to contributing to the kernel and didn't know about the
stable tree procedure so missed setting the CC:stable@vger.kernel.org in
my patch submission; I'm following option 2 on the stable-kernel-rules
guide.
Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Correct thermal sensor
allocation
Upstream Commit ID: 6759e18e5cd8745a5dfc5726e4a3db5281ec1639
Reason: Some EC registers on Thinkpad machines were being incorrectly
used as temperature sensors. One in particular was fooling thermald into
thinking the system was hot when it wasn't, and keeping fans ramped up
unnecessarily.
I've been requested by some distro's to get this fix into the stable
tree to make it easier for them to then pull into their releases.
If it's possible to add this to 5.11 and maybe 5.10 that would be
appreciated.
Please let me know if you need anything or have any questions
Many thanks
Mark Pearson
