This seems like an odd exception. Why not extend the list of trip point
types with a "shutdown" or "emergency" type that can be used for this?
This doesn't seem like NVIDIA specific functionality, so adding an
NVIDIA specific property doesn't seem right.
Also, please always Cc devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and the device tree
bindings maintainers when sending updates for a binding. They need to
ack these kinds of patches and they can't do that if they don't get a
copy of the patch.
Cc'ing them now and quoting the full patch for reference.
