Subject: thermal: shorten too long mcast group name
From: Masatake YAMATO <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commits 73214f5d9f33b79918b1f7babddd5c8af28dd23d
and f1e79e208076ffe7bad97158275f1c572c04f5c7, the latter
adds an assertion to genetlink to prevent this from happening
again in the future. ]
The original name is too long.
