I know, but that doesn't mean one can skip the check.

There is a reason, that the HW has a watchdog. I think the safety
relevant stuff should be done in the watchdog thread. This ensures,
that charging depends on reading the safety relevant sensors.

Of course the watchdog stuff could be moved into the charger manager
framework...

I assume it currently also takes care of the bq2415x watchdog? That
means if the daemon dies charging will stop, because the watchdog
does no longer trigger.

When your patch is applied you have introduced a safety issue.
When the daemon dies charging will continue and temperature is
no longer checked.
