I wouldn't use the term "violation" here, it feels  too strong.

I looked for a replacement word, but I couldn't find a suitable one.
In the sentence above I would just say "related to going above a trip
point".

This requires a bit more explanation IMV.

s/and/or/ ?  Because it can't be both at the same time.

tz_dbg so as to avoid confusing this with a thermal zone object?

The memory allocations can be combined into one:

tze = kzalloc(sizeof(*tze) + sizeof(*trip_stats) * tz->num_trips, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!tze)
        return NULL;

trip_stats = (struct trip_stats *)(tze + 1);

Or if you defined trip_stats[] as a flexible array, you could use
struct_size() (see overflow.h).

As per the comments on the previous patch this would be

struct thermal_debugfs *thermdbg = tz->debugfs;

I would add

struct tz_debugfs *tz_dbg =&thermdbg->tz_dbg;

and use it instead of dereferencing thermdbg every time to get to tz_dbg.

So trip_index is an index into trips_crossed[] and the value is the ID
of the trip passed by thermal_debug_tz_trip_up() IIUC, so the trip IDs
in trips_crossed[] are always sorted by the trip temperature, in the
ascending order.

It would be good to write this down somewhere in a comment.

And what if trip temperatures change during a mitigation episode such
that the order by the trip temperature changes?
