Thermal zone data/configuration does not update thermal sensor limits,
primarily because the thermal subsystem's notion of zones does not match
the typical thermal sensor hardware. Thermal sensor hardware assumes
that limits are set to fixed values, but the thermal subsystem assumes
they are freely programmable. This can cause real trouble if a thermal
sensor's alarm signal is directly wired to some action. It also interfers
with the hwmon subsystem's notion of alarms, which also assume fixed
limits.
