After today's system update on Fedora 44 (including Linux kernel 7.1.7-200.fc44.x86_64 and related packages), thermald.service fails to start on desktop hardware, resulting in a restart loop.

While this might theoretically affect earlier kernel versions as well (such as 7.1.6) depending on the package builds, it immediately broke upon applying today's updates.

Error logs (journalctl):
Plaintext

thermald[948]: Non mobile platform, exiting..
thermald[948]: THD engine init failed
thermald[948]: --adaptive option failed on this platform
thermald[948]: Ignoring --adaptive option

System info:

    OS: Fedora 44 (KDE Plasma)

    Kernel: 7.1.7-200.fc44.x86_64

    Hardware: Intel Core i5-9600K (Desktop / Coffee Lake)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Update system packages (including thermald and Linux kernel 7.1.7-200.fc44.x86_64) on an Intel desktop system.
2.Start or restart the thermald service: sudo systemctl start thermald.service
3.
Actual Results:
The service fails to start, enters a restart loop, and exits with a Non mobile platform, exiting.. error because of the --adaptive flag.

Expected Results:
thermald should start successfully on desktop hardware without failing due to the mobile platform check or --adaptive flag.

Additional Information:
