Thank you very much for reviewing the additional explanations.
1.Enable thermal policy operation will unregister/register all thermal
zones

thermal_policy_09.
2.System suspend entry time is 2023-10-20 22:13:59.242

3. It can be proven that the absence of a switch strategy will perform
unregister/register operations on thermal zones (android time is 2023-
10-20 22:13:59.282)，
Because the logs for other thermal zones switching are not enabled by
default, we cannot see the logs related to other thermal zones.
