hwmon: Support set_trips() of thermal device ops
Support set_trips() callback of thermal device ops. This allows HWMON
device to operatively notify thermal core about temperature changes, which
is very handy to have in a case where HWMON sensor is used by CPU thermal
zone that performs passive cooling and emergency shutdown on overheat.
Thermal core will be able to react faster to temperature changes.
The set_trips() callback is entirely optional. If HWMON sensor doesn't
support setting thermal trips, then the callback is a NO-OP. The dummy
callback has no effect on the thermal core. The temperature trips are
either complement the temperature polling mechanism of thermal core or
replace the polling if sensor can set the trips and polling is disabled
by a particular device in a device-tree.
