Internal thermal-management code inside the Nouveau driver stack for NVIDIA GPUs. It handles fan control, temperature sensors, and thermal throttling logic for NVIDIA cards driven by the open-source Nouveau driver, but it is a building block within Nouveau rather than a free-standing driver of its own.
This is not a standalone driver directory; it is an internal subcomponent of the Nouveau NVIDIA GPU driver that manages thermal functions like fan speed and temperature monitoring. It cannot be evaluated for keep/remove on its own because its fate is tied to the larger Nouveau driver.

codex reasoning notes (technical)
Not a driver directory: contains Nouveau NVKM internal thermal-management subdevice code, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
