Under each thermal zone there is a optional file called "mode". Writing enabled or disabled to this file allows a given thermal zone to be enabled or disabled, but in current code, the monitoring queue doesn't stops. Add the code to disable polling when disabling thermal zone and enable polling when enabling the thermal zone. This patch is based on the original Sameer Nanda <snanda@xxxxxxxxxxxx> patch that implemented this idea for the ACPI thermal driver.
