Correct.

Makes sense, what do you think about this?

dt-bindings: thermal: samsung,exynos: remove driver-specific information

The number of supported trip points was only limited by the driver
implementation at the time, which mapped each trip point defined in the
devicetree source file to a hardware trip point. An implementation that
does not have this limitation is possible; indeed, that is how the
driver works currently. Therefore, this information should be removed
from the bindings description, which are meant to be independent from
the details of the driver implementation.
