+Hardware-triggered thermal reset:
+On Tegra30, Tegra114 and Tegra124, if the 'i2c-thermtrip' subnode exists,
+hardware-triggered thermal reset will be enabled.

"will be enabled" sounds like SW behaviour, whereas DT is suppose to describe HW, and leave SW to define its own behaviour. I would suggest:

Optional sub-nodes:
i2c-thermtrip: Describes how to power off the system in the event of a
  thermal emergency.

+Required properties for hardware-triggered thermal reset (inside 'i2c-thermtrip'):

Simpler might be:

Required properties for i2c-thermtrip node:

+- nvidia,pmu : Phandle to power management unit / PMIC handling poweroff
+- nvidia,reg-addr : I2C register address to write poweroff command to
+- nvidia,reg-data : Poweroff command to write to PMU

Why are both the PMU/PMIC phandle and the register address/data required? I thought the purpose of having the phandle was to allow the register address and data to be queried from the PMU/PMIC driver.

To me, it seems much simpler to get rid of the phandle and just hard-code the I2C bus number, address, and data into this node, rather than having to go query it from the PMU/PMIC driver, then find the I2C controller, then query it for its ID (and hope that all HW modules that talk to I2C controllers directly use the same numbering scheme...)
