You only use the hysteresis for the low trip point and not for the
high trip point.  Shouldn't you also add:

		trip_high = trip_temp + hysteresis;

... and here:

		if (trip_high > temp && trip_high < high)
			high = trip_high;

I think you should get the lock for the whole function, including the
read of tz->temperature .  I know I said that the lock should be
acquired before the if condition before but thinking about it, I think
there may be a race condition if userspace updates the hysteresis
while thermal_zone_device_update() is updating the temperature: you
could have the cpu that is updating the hysteresis seeing the old
temperature while the cpu that is updating the temperature would see
the old hysteresis.  I think it's safer if this whole function is
protected from the lock, from the read of tz->temperature until the
end.

Cheers,
