By thermal profile, I was meaning a figure with the temperature
regulation (temperature idle, then workload, then temperature increase,
mitigated temperature, end of workload, temperature decrease).

The thermal description looks wrong in the DT. I suggest to experiment
the series with the DT fixed.

eg. from hi6220.dtsi


                thermal-zones {

                        cls0: cls0 {
                                polling-delay = <1000>;
                                polling-delay-passive = <100>;
                                sustainable-power = <3326>;

                                /* sensor ID */
                                thermal-sensors = <&tsensor 2>;

                                trips {
                                        threshold: trip-point@0 {
                                                temperature = <65000>;
                                                hysteresis = <0>;
                                                type = "passive";
                                        };

                                        target: trip-point@1 {
                                                temperature = <75000>;
                                                hysteresis = <0>;
                                                type = "passive";
                                        };
                                };

                                cooling-maps {
                                        map0 {
                                                trip = <&target>;
                                                cooling-device = <&cpu0
THERMAL_NO_LIMIT THERMAL_NO_LIMIT>;
                                        };
                                };
                        };
                };

Note the cooling devices are *passive*
