Thanks Guenter.
I missed to mention about devm while unregistering the cooling device.
That would definitely cause a mistake in code. I am noting it for further patch.

For a better clarity, I will push next version of this patch to handle only multiple profiles support.
"remove fan module" will be supported by a separate patch altogether.
