SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 0/3] thermal: Add support of multiple sensors

Is it possible to elaborate why this feature is needed ?

The thermal framework is able to aggregate the cooling device requests,
so having multiple sensors aggregated or the cooling device requests is
from my point of view the same.

I can imagine one reason to do that is to group the sensors in order to
use the IPA because it won't work the setup mentioned above.

Is that the goal you want to achieve ?
