Right, except for the cooling-maps. Those are exempted if there is the
trip type is not passive. That is my understanding of the existing
bindings.

Trip type critical triggers a shutdown and trip type hot only triggers
a notification - see thermal_core.c:handle_critical_trips(). So we
only need cooling maps for passive trip types.

Aah, I missed that. I started working on something last week that
looks similar to your discussion. Pushed a WIP branch here[1], it
looks like I had a similar idea on how to split the bindings. Hope to
finish this up tomorrow for an RFC.
