I would elaborte this meaning 'filtering' here. Something like:
'... high frequency and which needs filtering to smooth the singal and
get an average value. That reflects available capacity of the CPU in
longer period'

We switch to task clock here, could you tell me why?
Don't we have to maintain the boot command parameter for the shift?

Here also the rq_clock_thermal() is not used anymore. Shouldn't we
remove the rq_clock_thermal() if not used anymore (I cannot se this in
the patch)?

I don't see that rq_clock_thermal() removal in this header.
Maybe I miss some patch?

BTW, I like the name 'HW pressure' for this information/signal.
