Ok, I remember everything now - had to add some debug output to see what
the stepwise governor hands us down.

Btw, Zhang, is there any way we can tell the upper layer to not
poll trips and temps for this driver? I mean, ->get_trip_type and
->get_trip_temp get called every polling interval and the data it
receives back each time is static and don't change so polling the same
values each time for this driver doesn't make any sense.

Can we pass trip points and temperature levels upon registration time
instead?

@Peter: I took your patch, removed one trip point and added comments so
that we don't forget why we do what we do. Please take a look - it works
fine here.
