    ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip point · f8707ec9
    Len Brown authored
    thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
    in all ACPI thermal zones.
    
    thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature
    active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius.
    Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent
    up to a higher temperature.  However, it will not allow you to
    raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher
    trip point (if there is one).  Lowering this trip point may
    kick in the fan sooner.
    
    Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
    to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point.
    This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently
    if temperature frequently crosses C.
    
    WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults
    may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten
    its life.
