[rk3288] Linux 5.1.y and no thermal trip points

[jock]

Is it my fault or the thermal trip points and cooling steps disappeared in Linux 5.1 on (at least) RK3288 devices?

 

The "C/St." field from armbianmonitor -m disappeared:

root@xt:/home/paolo# uname -a

and if I launch a stress test the SoC happily goes beyond 80°C

FYI, just upgraded to dev kernel 5.2 and thermal trip points are back!
