Well, actually the get_trend() ops was added for ACPI and because the 
ops was there, some drivers provided their own implementation and it 
appears they are unnecessary. It is this pointless code I want to remove.

Only the get_trend() ops will remain for the ACPI. Hopefully we can 
remove the ops in the future.
