If the action taken by the core-cluster cooling-maps is the only one
that can be taken, I suggest getting rid of the the soc-alert passive
trip completely. It is not of any use.

If there is a chance that your soc thermal-zone can heat up before
your cpu-cluster zone (unlikely), you could use the same cooling
device (cpu0, cpu1) for soc thermal zone too.
