In linux kernel since version 3.10 (release Date: 2013-06-30)
Newer laptops and tablets that use ACPI may have thermal sensors and
other devices with thermal control capabilities outside the core
CPU/SOC, for thermal safety reasons.
They are exposed for the OS to use via the INT3400 ACPI device object
as the master, and INT3401~INT340B ACPI device objects as the slaves.
Enable this to expose the temperature information and cooling ability
from these objects to userspace via the normal thermal framework.
This means that a wide range of applications and GUI widgets can show
the information to the user or use this information for making
decisions. For example, the Intel Thermal Daemon can use this
information to allow the user to select his laptop to run without
turning on the fans.
