Yeah, pretty much the driver needs to be ready to answer to callbacks
once it calls thermal_*_register() method.

Can you be more specific? Are you seeing this problem in samsung driver
or in other drivers too?

Oh I see, this is because trip info is read by the of thermal thermal
then, correct?

Ok. Up to this point I followed that this is a samsung driver issue, not
we need to change the core to fix adapt to it?

And adapting the core should be fine to fit a new use/fix something,
as long the issue is well described..
