is there any problem in the current code?

handle_critical_trips() can handle both active and hot trip points.
this change will break HOT trip point.

what's the benefit of using .get_crit_temp() instead of .get_trip_temp()
for CRITICAL trip points here?
.get_trip_point can also get the critical trip point temperature.

instead, I think we could remove .get_crit_temp callback.
for hwmon sysfs, we just need to use get_trip_type to find the critical
trip point.
