I was waiting for a more detailed request. It's not immediately obvious
how it should be reverted, given the associated commits which surround it.
Since you asked, I had a go. I got a lot of merge conflicts, so I had
to keep on reverting other patches. This fixed it:
Revert "ACPI: thermal: use .notify method instead of installing
handler directly"
Revert "ACPI: Adjust Kelvin offset to match local implementation"
Revert "trivial: Fix misspelling of "Celsius"."
Revert "proc tty: remove struct tty_operations::read_proc"
Revert "proc tty: add struct tty_operations::proc_fops"
Revert "proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner"
Revert "thermal: support forcing support for passive cooling"
Revert "ACPI: update thermal for bus_id removal"
Revert "ACPI: move thermal trip handling to generic thermal layer"
and then if I un-revert the last two, I can reproduce it again. I hope
that makes sense :-).
