Update a new temperature target in milli degree celsius for hardware to
use for the temperature control.
+``thermal_tolerance`` (RW)
+ This attribute ranges from 0 to 7, where 0 represents
+ the most aggressive control to avoid any temperature overshoots, and
+ 7 represents a more graceful approach, favoring performance even at
+ the expense of temperature overshoots.
+ Note: This level may not scale linearly. For example, a value of 3 does

Given that this is platform temperature control, it is expected that a
single user-level manager owns and manages the controls. If multiple
user-level software applications attempt to write different targets, it
