You need to define trips and cooling devices here. Otherwise, makes
little sense to have this device in thermal subsystem. Here is an
example of minimal set:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/evalenti/linux-soc-thermal.git/commit/?h=linus&id=1e2ac9821de6a85d3e8358f238436708d1d46869
The above has no passive action. It is just gonna shutdown the system if
temperature crosses a threshold.
But, a typical cooling device would be CPU frequency throttling. Do you have
that up and running in your routers?
