I wasn't sure if anybody was using it, but I can remove it completely since no driver seems to be using the thermal_generate_netlink_event() api. Regards, Amit $ git grep thermal_generate_netlink_event Documentation/thermal/sysfs-api.rst:just need to call thermal_generate_netlink_event() with two arguments viz drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c:int thermal_generate_netlink_event(struct thermal_zone_device *tz, drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(thermal_generate_netlink_event); include/linux/thermal.h:extern int thermal_generate_netlink_event(struct thermal_zone_device *tz, include/linux/thermal.h:static inline int thermal_generate_netlink_event(struct thermal_zone_device *tz,
