** Description changed:

+ == SRU Justification Bionic/Disco ==
+ 
+ proc_thermal messages are spamming the kernel log when used in
+ conjunction with thermal.  This is because the message is not set at the
+ correct kernel log level.
+ 
+ == Fix ==
+ 
+ Upstream fix 44c0c23725a16c8803b8809b87651405e8741e4d ("drivers:
+ thermal: processor_thermal: Downgrade error message"). This is in 5.2 so
+ not applicable for Eoan.
+ 
+ This fix needs a minor backport wiggle for Bionic because the driver is
+ located in a different place.
+ 
+ == Test case ==
+ 
+ Without the fix the kernel log is being spammed periodically with
+ messages in the form:
+ 
+ [   11.520358] proc_thermal 0000:00:00.1: Unsupported event [0x91]
+ [   16.532358] proc_thermal 0000:00:00.1: Unsupported event [0x91]
+ [   21.572719] proc_thermal 0000:00:00.1: Unsupported event [0x91]
+ [   26.580855] proc_thermal 0000:00:00.1: Unsupported event [0x91]
+ 
+ With the fix these messages are no longer appearing.
+ 
+ == Regression Potential ==
+ 
+ This changes the log level, so regression potential is very limited,
+ unless some program is relying on this message for some particular
+ reason.
+
