There is no specific reason. This is just providing info to the driver
so the driver can configure chip while probe for specified mode.
I understand your concern but as of now, the driver does not have
support to decide mode based on userspace interaction. We will work on
that when we reopen for enhancement (e.g threshold for temp. range)
