Sorry, the change log was not successfully saved to the commit message.
Add it as following here:
---
V5:
- Simplify the reset ops, make it no return value and no specific
  trip ID as argument.
- Extend the commit message.

V4: [4]
- Compared to V3, handle it in thermal core instead of in governor.
- Add an ops to the governor structure, and call it when a trip
  point is changed
- Define reset ops for power allocator.

V3: [3]
- Add fix tag.

V2: [2]
- Compared to v1, do not revert.
- Add a variable(last_switch_on_temp) in power_allocator_params
  to record the last switch_on_temp value.
- Adds a function to renew the update flag and update the
  last_switch_on_temp when thermal trips are writable.

V1: [1]
- Revert commit 0952177f2a1f.
