    For posterity, we moved to core_initcall from fs_initcall since we had
    removed netlink support from the thermal framework and we wanted to
    initialise it as quickly as possible after cpufreq to allow early
    mitigation possibility.

    Given the addition of the new netlink-based API to thermal framework,
    I think moving to postcore_initcall is an acceptable compromise.
