Great, thanks!

Another concern about adding trip points later could be the node
name. We currently have:


trips {
  cpu0_alert0: trip0 {
    ...
  };

  cpu0_crit: trip1 {
    ...
  };
};

If we keep increasing enumeration with the node name this would become:

trips {
  cpu0_alert0: trip0 {
    ...
  };

  cpu0_alert1: trip1 {
    ...
  };

  cpu0_crit: trip2 {
    ...
  };
};

i.e. the node name of the critical trip-point changes, which might be
a concern for dtsi's that override a value, though they should
probably use the phandle &cpu0_crit anyway. If this is a concern we
could change the node names to 'alert0' and 'crit'.

I looked around a bit and actually I kinda like the naming scheme used
by hisilicon/hi6220.dtsi, mediatek/mt8173.dtsi and rockchip/rk3328.dtsi
(with minor variations):

trips {
        threshold: trip-point@0 {
                temperature = <68000>;
                hysteresis = <2000>;
                type = "passive";
        };

        target: trip-point@1 {
                temperature = <85000>;
                hysteresis = <2000>;
                type = "passive";
        };

        cpu_crit: cpu_crit@0 {
                temperature = <115000>;
                hysteresis = <2000>;
                type = "critical";
        };
};

If we were to use this we'd have to adapt it slightly since we have
multiple thermal zones. In line with the other scheme this could be
cpuN_threshold, cpuN_target and cpuN_crit.

Up to you, just providing some options ;-)

Sounds good

Thanks!
