Using subset of thermal zones in Themald (instead of all them) #370

Hi

Hope you are doing well.

Themald uses all of the thermal zones and When I monitor the temperature with Thermal Monitor, the temperature of some of thermal zones is always constant.

Thermal Zones in Ubuntu 22.04 are as follows: acpitz INT3400 Thermal SEN1 SEN2 SEN3 SEN4 pch_skylake B0D4 iwlwifi_1 x86_pkg_temp

SEN1, SEN2, SEN3 and SEN4 the tempreature related to these thermal zones are always 50. (Based on the debug info from thermad)

Is it possible thermald ignore these thermal zones?

My spec: Asus Zenbook 490UA Ubuntu 22.04

One of the workarounds is to use thermal-conf.xml but designing this configuration is very time-consuming and requires knowledge about the thermal details of OS. I am just a normal user.

Also, dptfxtract does produce a very simple thermal-conf.xml that is not usable. (I mentioned this issue)
