the problem currently is that passive is at 47degress Celsius and trottles cpu, active (67°C) and hot points are never reached this way. so at least we need to change temperatures in dtsi, and maybe disable cpu-trotteling on passive trip. imho fan will never start if it is in active and cpu is trottled before in passive

passive to 75 and active lower to 70? is this as intended that active comes before passive?

mt7622-bananapi-bpi-r64.dts:

&cpu_thermal {
	trips {
		cpu_passive: cpu-passive {
			temperature = <75000>;
			hysteresis = <2000>;
			type = "passive";
		};

		cpu_active: cpu-active {
			temperature = <70000>;
			hysteresis = <2000>;
			type = "active";
		};
	};

	cooling-maps {
		map1 {
			trip = <&cpu_active>;
			cooling-device = <&fan0 THERMAL_NO_LIMIT THERMAL_NO_LIMIT>;
		};
	};
};

then cpu is trottled at passive point (currently 47°C) and imho fan does not start at active
