The binding is ambiguous.

For me it states the cooling maps must be defined as it is a required
node of the thermal zone.

We may not have an active or passive cooling device for the thermal
zone, thus we can not comply with the dt binding and strictly speaking
we shouldn't add this thermal zone.

But the logic of having a 'hot' or a 'critical' trip point without a
cooling device is correct.

As we move this binding to a schema, we shall clarify the cooling-maps
is required if there are active or passive trip points otherwise it is
optional.

Great, thanks for taking care of that.
