Thanks for adapting the trip point names and labels in anticipation of
further additions!

Seems you aren't overly convinced about the 'target/threshold'
terminology used by some other arm64 platforms ;-)

I realized that we still have the potential problem of a name change
in the trip point node name if a 'threshold' node for IPA is added,
since this node will have a lower temperature than 95°. If this is
something to be concerned about it might be worth to add that extra
trip point already to avoid headaches or funky trip point enumeration,
even if we know that the value might not be the final one.

(I'm aware that we are also changing the node names and labels right
now, it seems less problematic at this point since the SDM845 thermal
zones are a fairly recent addition)

nit: does the @0 add any value here? IIUC there can be only one
critical trip point, hence there will never be a cpu_crit@1 or
higher.

Out of curiosity: how did you determing the max cooling state of 4?
