Let's sum up things and take a decision about this. On V_0 the original
driver have a special implementation that has a 4 trips point, one
critical high (that should be MAX_THRESH), one critical low (that should
be MIN_THRESH), one configurabile hi and one configurable low.

This is the regfiled
[LOW_THRESH_0]   = REG_FIELD(THRESHOLD_ADDR,  0,  7),
[UP_THRESH_0]    = REG_FIELD(THRESHOLD_ADDR,  8, 15),
[MIN_THRESH_0]   = REG_FIELD(THRESHOLD_ADDR, 16, 23),
[MAX_THRESH_0]   = REG_FIELD(THRESHOLD_ADDR, 24, 31),
and we have the regfiled to check if the threshold is violated.

Looking at the set trips code, since V_0 doesn't have critical
interrupt, we only set the uplow interrupt. Now the current code only
check the LOW and UP regfield and V_0. The original code also check MIN
and MAX (that are set to 125 C and 0 C, that should be the critical trip
point). Should we:
1. drop the MIN and MAX THRESH and keep them unconfigured (and make the
interrupt set only to the UP/LOW trips) or
2. add the missing code to set_trips

Honestrly I'm more with the first approach. I also sent v7 that should
address all the other request. As always thanks for the attention.
