I moved the "trips" and "cooling-maps" to optional property, because if
missing these two properties, the thermal zone devices still can be
registered, and the driver can work properly, it has the basic function,
can read temperature from thermal sysfs, although it doesn't have trips
and bind with cooling devices.

Thanks.
Wei.
