I don't see where is the problem. The protocol is still compatible
with
the previous version, so that does not break the existing AFAICT.
That
is done on purpose.

The size of netlink message is changed. This is not a good argument to
just adding members at the end. The point I am trying that netlink now
is an ABI, which should go through same process as we are
adding/changing a sysfs attributes.
 

Ok I understand your point. I will provide a description in
Documentation/ABI/testing, something I should have done before and take
the opportunity to provide a bigger update of the thermal netlink
messages with more commands.

Thanks
