I am trying to add this support for the platform DTS, for which
the thresholds need to be configured at run time.

In this case, the firmware is not involved. Also, the new
thresholds are written into the h/w registers. So, everybody
down the stack, will know that the trip points have moved. And
notifications will be w.r.t the newly written thresholds only.


Thanks,
