Hi Angelo,
1. 68°C is provided by MediaTek previously in downstream
2. I think sustainable power will be estimated by
estimate_sustainable_power in drivers/thermal/gov_power_allocator.c,
but I'll ask MediaTek if they can provide the precise value.
3. Sure. I'll do it in v3 after I check 2. with MediaTek
Regards,
Hsin-Te
