I would change the subject to something like "thermal/sysfs: Always
expose hysteresis attributes", because that's what the patch does
IIUC.

And in the changelog I would write something like the below:

"Instead of avoiding to expose the hysteresis attributes of a thermal
zone when its get_trip_hyst() operation is not defined, which is
confusing, expose them always and use the default
thermal_zone_get_trip() function returning 0 hysteresis when that
operation is not present.

The hysteresis of 0 is perfectly valid, so this change should not
introduce any backwards compatibility issues."
