I think the reasoning for this was that I didn't want to make changes to
thermal_core and thermal_zone_device_update only calls get_temp on the
zone, so I had to add this code to get_temp. set_trips would anyway only
be called if we had crossed a trip point.

Yeah, this is sensible. A simpler solution would be to just tell
of-thermal drivers about the trip points and let the driver do whatever
it wants. That would mirror the way normal thermal_core drivers are
done. What is your opinion on that?

For now, I think I'll submit a driver with just polling support so that
we can get some support in.
