ACPI: Reject below-freezing temperatures as invalid critical temperatures
commit a39a2d7c72b358c6253a2ec28e17b023b7f6f41c upstream My laptop thinks that it's a good idea to give -73C as the critical CPU temperature.... which isn't the best thing since it causes a shutdown right at bootup. Temperatures below freezing are clearly invalid critical thresholds so just reject these as such.
