thermal: Add support for hardware-tracked trip points
This adds support for hardware-tracked trip points to the device tree thermal sensor framework. The framework supports an arbitrary number of trip points. Whenever the current temperature is updated, the trip points immediately below and above the current temperature are found. A .set_trips callback is then called with the temperatures. If there is no trip point above or below the current temperature, the passed trip temperature will be -INT_MAX or INT_MAX respectively. In this callback, the driver should program the hardware such that it is notified when either of these trip points are triggered. When a trip point is triggered, the driver should call `thermal_zone_device_update' for the respective thermal zone. This will cause the trip points to be updated again. If .set_trips is not implemented, the framework behaves as before.
