This looks like a reimplementation of the get_tz_trend() helper. Is
seems like that helper already has everything we need. Perhaps this
isn't working because of-thermal installs of_thermal_get_trend(), a
function that returns -EINVAL if the driver doesn't implement the
->get_trend() callback.

Perhaps a better way would be to do something like this in
thermal_zone_of_add_sensor():

	if (ops->get_trend)
		tzd->ops->get_trend = of_thermal_get_trend;

That's similar to how ->set_trips() and ->set_emul_temp() are set up
and should make sure that get_tz_trend() will do the right thing for
all drivers that don't implement a special ->get_trend().
