[Kamal Mostafa]

This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    thermal: hwmon: Make the check for critical temp valid consistent

to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.6.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

While dealing with this problem, I found another problem that also
results in a kernel crash on thermal module removal:

We used the tz->ops->get_crit_temp && !tz->ops->get_crit_temp(tz, temp)
to decide if we need to create the temp_crit attribute file but we just
check if tz->ops->get_crit_temp exists to decide if we need to remove
that attribute file. Some ACPI thermal zone doesn't have a valid critical
trip point and that would result in removing a non-existent device file
on thermal module unload.
