+ In order to keep it consistent with hwmon sys attribute; this
+ should be a short, lowercase string, not containing spaces nor
+ dashes.

+Description:
+ The influence of `cdev[0-*]` in this thermal zone. This value
+ is relative to the rest of cooling devices in the thermal
+ zone. For example, if a cooling device has a weight double
+ than that of other, it's twice as effective in cooling the
+ thermal zone.
+
+ RW, Optional
+
+What: /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneX/emul_temp
+Description:
+ Interface to set the emulated temperature method in thermal zone
+ (sensor). After setting this temperature, the thermal zone may
+ pass this temperature to platform emulation function if
+ registered or cache it locally. This is useful in debugging
+ different temperature threshold and its associated cooling
+ action. This is write only node and writing 0 on this node
+ should disable emulation.
+
+ Unit: millidegree Celsius
+
+ WO, Optional
+
+ WARNING:
+ Be careful while enabling this option on production systems,
+ because userland can easily disable the thermal policy by simply
+ flooding this sysfs node with low temperature values.
