There were still some discussions about the kthread worker API. Anyway, the needed kthread API changes are in Andrew's -mm tree now and will be hopefully included in 4.9.
I did not want to send the patches using the API before the API changes are upstream. But I could send the two intel_powerclamp patches now if you are comfortable with having them on top of the -mm tree or linux-next.
Best Regards, Petr
