Ah, right. I keep forgetting about this odd error handling.

That's still the wrong error handling though; the right response is
never to avoid doing anything (and therefore returning "success" to the
thermal core). You need to either program a high (or low) trip value, or
else report an error (i.e., allow rk_tsadcv2_alarm_temp() to return an
error code back to the calling function). Otherwise, this:

echo -45000 > trip_0_temp

will succeed without error, and:

cat trip_0_temp
-45000

will return the cached temperature from of-thermal, even though the trip
point is programmed to something else entirely.
