Add hw-trips sub-node for soctherm, which is
used to describe the hardware trip points for
each soctherm sensors.

I still don't understand why you are doing something custom here.
What's wrong with what is defined in:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal.txt

In current thermal framework, it support to set trip points for the thermal
zones, but this trip point is handled by SW, doesn't have callbacks to program
the hardware.
There had patches:
[PATCH 12/16] thermal: thermal: Add support for hardware-tracked trip points,
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mediatek/2015-May/000866.html,
which can support to program hardware to set trip points, but it seems this
series didn't be taken.
So I add this hw-trip-points sub-node for soctherm.

Hi, Sasha
Sorry, I forgot to type messages in previous mail.

I noticed that you submitted "[PATCH 12/16] thermal: thermal: Add support for
hardware-tracked trip points" long time ago, I think it's very useful, do you
know why it didn't be taken?

Thanks.
Wei.
