Well, that's what I did in my initial proposal, but I found it is not enough.
Say, for the problem fixed in patch 3/3, when a cooling device is registered after
the thermal zone, the thermal trend is not THEMAL_TREND_INVALID, but we need
to get a proper cooling state for the newly registered cooling device.
Thus a per thermal_instance flag is introduced instead.
