Why do you think that this is a specific API? In the thermal OF we can
define trip point as "active", "passive", "hot" and "critical".
With the first three we can handle them and properly react. For the last
one SoC's PMU will power down the board.
Do you know if any board (e.g. from TI) is NOT supposed to shut down
when "critical" temperature is passed?
The real problem here is the accessibility to __thermal_trip and
__thermal_bind arrays.
Use case:
In the Exynos driver we do need to initialize TMU registers with
threshold temperatures.
The temperature is read via tz->ops->get_trip_temp() [1] (from
of-thermal.c).
Unfortunately, the current API is not exporting the number of
non-critical trip points to know how many times call [1].
Of course we could by hand instantiate [1] n times, but this looks for
me a bit clumsy.
Additionally, we now have implicit assumption about the order of defined
temperatures for trip points, but I think this is not a big issue.

Definitely. Exporting available trip points is crucial.

Ok, I will do that.
