Inspired by the vendor kernel but adapted to the upstream thermal
driver version.

Except if I'm wrong, the driver supports the interrupt mode, so it not necessary to poll constantly when there is no mitigation. You can remove the line and everywhere else.

As little CPU, 200ms or 150ms may be more adequate.

+                };

You may want to add a 'hot' trip point in between, so the userspace can be notified and take an action before reaching 'critical' (like unplugging a CPU)

There's no "notify" function in the driver.

The trip point crossing is always notified to userspace in the core code. It is not driver specific.

Do you think it's worth adding such 'hot' trip point, though ?

Having this trip point would allow generic trip point handling in a userspace daemon to do an action.

If the userspace does not take care of this event, it won't hurt.
