6 years ago Running while sudo smbios-thermal-ctl -i; do :; done for a minute after applying the patch, I could not observe the error again. Previously it would occur after around ~5 seconds of above while loop.
Thanks for the quick fix.

6 years ago It seems the error disappearing was rather an artefact of rebooting the system due to replacing the kernel. Trying again a few hours later, the problem reappears:
