The code check for the populated pointer (by earlier new
get_governor_trips(tz, params)) :

if (params->trip_max_desired_temperature) {
	int temp = params->trip_max_desired_temperature->temperature;

	estimate_pid_constants(...)
}

looks better (what you have figured out already).

Other than that the patch LGTM:

I have also tested this is a few ways and it still works as expected:
1. Power allocation in different conditions
2. Trip points properly recognized with this nice get_governor_trips(),
   here is the test output, with many tricky trip point setups:

use case A:
5 trip points:
- 2 passive for 50, 60 degC
- 1 active 70degC
- 2 passive 70, 85 degC
- 1 critical 120 degC

expected IPA trip points: 50, 85 deg => 35 degC IPA operating range
