OK, I will short it.

It are reasonable, I will move the hardware info to debugfs.

"repower_temp" is the highest temperature for SG2042 to perform 
repower operation. It is not the emergency limit, but a recovery
limit when the emergency limit is reached. 

For example, when emergency temperature is set to 95 and repower
temperature is set to 80. The board is off-power when it reachs
95 degree, and it will power on when the temperature is lower
than 80 degree.
