Hi Rob,
In current thermal framework, it doesn't support to set h/w shutdown
trips, the "critical" trip is used for s/w shutdown. I noticed that in
rockchip-thermal driver, it also used "rockchip,hw-tshut-temp" to set
h/w shutdown temperature.

Sorry, what do you mean temperature table? Do you mean the trip nodes?

Thanks.
Wei.
