The first patch adds a basic check of cooling devices power to keep the internal statistics fresh. This allows to avoid issue when the statistics cover very long period, because they were not maintained. The second patch addressed an issue described in bugzilla [1], which is: unnecessary updating cooling devices when their state has not changed because they are not throttled. This update triggers sending an event, which should be avoided. Thus, patch 2/2 adds a tracking mechanism if the update was triggered and makes sure it will be done only once when the temperature continue to stay below first trip point.
