Here is a suggestion for rephrase the above:
+ help
+ Thermal subsystem will issue a graceful shutdown when
+ critical temperatures are reached using orderly_poweroff(). In
+ case of failure of an orderly_poweroff(), the thermal emergency
poweroff
+ kicks in after a delay has elapsed and shuts down the system.
+ This config is number of milliseconds to delay before emergency
+ poweroff kicks in. Similarly to the critical trip point,
+ the delay should be carefully profiled so as to give adequate
+ time for orderly_poweroff() to finish on regular execution.
+ If set to 0 emergency poweroff will not be supported.
+
+ In doubt, leave as 0.

This cannot be negative. I think it better suits here:
+ if (poweroff_delay_ms <= 0)
Let's avoid hidden unsigned round up issues here.
