I don't think so, I think we didn't need add the for trip_high.
We should triggle the trip points () in time when passive cooling,
and throttle the frequency with the related governor. (After all that's
used for high temperature)

Maybe, we should think about the low temperature for thermal. (e.g. -10
degree, -20 degree....)
The rockchip some SoCs have the hardware low temperature interrupts for
thermal,
but I haven't got up it.

Okay, I agree with you in here. :)
Thanks.
