"trip + 1" may be equal to thermal_zone_device.trips and thus out-of-range,
in which case rcar_thermal_get_trip_temp() will print an error message:

    rcar_thermal e61f0000.thermal: rcar driver trip error

Is the "+ 1" (also below) intentional?
If yes, I think the related error messages in rcar_thermal.c should be reduced
to debug messages.
