Re: [PATCH V2 0/6] thermal: exynos: Add kernel thermal support for exynos platform

Hi Len/Rui,

Any comment or feedback from your side about the status of this patch?
Is it merge-able or major re-work is needed? I have fixed most of the
comments in this patchset and currently working on some of the minor
comments received and will submit them shortly.

Regards,
Amit Daniel
