[Nouveau] noveau: emergency shutdown handling is overcomplex and broken

[Karol Herbst]

Thanks for the pointer.

But I don't like this patch. If you find a bug, make a bug report or
just fix it if you know the fix already. Or write something in IRC. Or
write on the Mailing list as a general question or something else

But I really don't agree on doing it this way. You would have needed
like the same amount of time to actual fix the problem.

Anyway, for adding a printk:

struct nvkm_subdev *subdev = &therm->subdev;
nvkm_error(subdev, "message");
