Sorry, I fail to understand. Are you suggesting to re-use the interface for set_trip 'temp' as well as 'hyst'?
If so, is it just to maintain the commonality across thermal_core and of-thermal interfaces?
The way i see it, the driver just needs to get some kind of 'update' that 'something' changed with
a trip point; and can later query the trips from of-thermal. (Lukasz's patch helps with that).
Functionality-wise, using two callbacks seems excessive. But i may be wrong :-)
