Oh, I see.

But back to my question, still take rcar driver for example,
it has a critical trip point but this is not shown in hwmon, which IMO
is still a problem.
So we should either make .get_crit_temp() mandatory for thermal drivers
with critical trip point or remove this callback and register hwmon
crit_temp interface via checking .get_trip_type().
