Here you define cooling-maps with passive and critical trip points. 

I was trying test that by enabling CONFIG_THERMAL_EMULATION and setting
the emulated temp via 

echo 85000 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/emul_temp

By checking with mhz (from lmbench Yocto recipe) command I was expecting that the 91 start
throttling but is not the case, Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Alberto
