Stray space after :

Unnecessary tab after boolean (I'll fix up the rest of the file in the
yaml conversion)

I suggest not making this boolean. Just use the property as a flag by
itself to denote a falling trip point. No need to deal with true/false
values.

Similarly, the sysfs file would show up only in case of a trip that
sets this flag and just contain a 1, for example.

Add space after full stop.
