Perhaps, which I already thought about, but it might also be best
to simply drop the removal of those redundant comments entirely.
Let's also see what will other people say.

Quite frankly, I think it should be obvious to anyone tackling
the thermal zones and trips.

Sorry for the late reply.

No worries.

Not everyone writing or editing the DT would be fully familiar with
all the bindings. As Icenowy mentioned, it's not even obvious when
the existing value is zero. I would prefer we keep them.

That's two votes for keeping the already present comments, so I'll
drop their removal in the v2.
