At first glance, patch seams reasonable. But I have one major concern as 
follows inline, apart from several minor comments.

For security reasons:

ditto.

I'd rather check if it returns 1.

 From your probe, you won't check for devices registered with 
ops.get_hyst == NULL. This may lead to a NULL pointer access above.

snprintf.

 From your probe, you won't check for devices registered with

One may be careful with the above functions. Userland having control on 
these properties may lead to spurious events, depending on the 
programming sequence / value changing order. I believe, it would be 
wiser to disable the interrupt generation prior to changing the thresholds.

how about using devm_ helpers?

I know there are people who is in favor of having the thermal policy 
controlled in userland.
Depending on which thermal zone we are talking about, I'd even consider 
it a valid approach.
On the other hand there are thermal zones that controls silicon junction 
temperature which
does not depend on any input from userland (like which kind of use case 
one may be running).


That said, I believe we may want to segregate which sensors we want to 
expose the write access
from userspace to their hyst and threshold values. Exposing all of them 
may lead to easy security leak.

Please consider additional checks (see my comments above)
