But I have a question. In some devices trip point temperature is not
static. When hardware changes, we get notification. For example
INT3403_PERF_TRIP_POINT_CHANGED for INT3403 drivers.
Currently get_trip can get the latest changed value. But if we
preregister, we need some mechanism to update them.
