The description above is specific to Linux kernel implementation
nomenclature. DT description needs to be OS agnostic.

Do you mean if the thermal zone misses the "trips" property? Actually,
the binding describes both, cooling-maps and trips, as required
properties. Thus, both needs to be in place to consider the thermal zone
as a proper described zone.
