Interesting product name. Is there a mlxsw_maximal planned?

You missed the vendor part.

An example with it disabled?

I don't know much about the thermal subsystem. But looking at other
example binding documents, you seem to do something different here to
other drivers. Why do you not use what seems to be the common format:

               trips {
                        cpu_alert0: cpu-alert0 {
                                temperature = <90000>; /* millicelsius */
                                hysteresis = <2000>; /* millicelsius */
                                type = "active";
                        };
                        cpu_alert1: cpu-alert1 {
                                temperature = <100000>; /* millicelsius */
                                hysteresis = <2000>; /* millicelsius */
                                type = "passive";
                        };
                        cpu_crit: cpu-crit {
                                temperature = <125000>; /* millicelsius */
                                hysteresis = <2000>; /* millicelsius */
                                type = "critical";
                        };
                };
