> But what userspace code needs to do this, and for what? In Android, thermal daemon and thermal HAL as well as some init.rc script would use those thermal paths for managing and monitoring thermal. The daemon/HAL could have logic pipled in, however Android's init.rc script would be really tricky. On a related note, we also create /dev/block/by-name links from userspace.
