But at least we need a dummy function in thermal_sys.c, as a backup.

You are also working on this?
here is the prototype patch I made for this.
Surely we can change the logic in thermal_get_trend() in thermal_sys.c
It would be great if you can attach your patch as well.

I think this is your answer for G11 rather than G7, no?
