ALL WINNER high temp. stop

CPU frequency scaling is supported now. Have you added operating points to 
the dts? Without a heatsink or fan, you need to set a reasonable set of 
operating points.

64C does seem quite low, the thermal driver uses the power-on default 
temperature for the shutdown temperature though (which should be > 100C).

Are you sure you are using the correct compat string for the thermal 
driver in your dts? Different SoCs use a different formula for reading the 
temperature.

Cheers,
Jared
