Allowing board-specific trip points sounds like a valid request, but I still think we need a way to handle the temperature grading in the driver if no board-specific trip-points are given.

What if we just set the temperature property in the trip nodes in imx8mm.dtsi to zero? The thermal driver would detect this and setup the correct values according to the grading. If the dt already provides non-zero temperature values (through the board dts) the driver will just leave the values and disregard the grading.

I think this solution would be covering all needs.
