Since thermal daemon is unaware of the device state, it might try to adjust the throttle state when the device is powered down. So the driver caches the value and will configure it while powering up the target. The cached value will be programed later once the device is brought up. In such case, returning error status is confusing and misleading the user application. Hence moving the driver state check before sending wmi command to target.
