RE: [PATCH 4/6] acpi/drivers/thermal: Remove TRIPS_NONE cooling device binding

[Zhang, Rui]

ACPI thermal driver binds the devices listed in _TZD method with THERMAL_TRIPS_NONE.
Now given that
1. THERMAL_TRIPS_NONE is removed from thermal framework
2. _TZP is rarely supported. I searched ~500 acpidumps from different platforms reported by end users in kernel Bugzilla, there is only one platform with _TZP implemented, and it was almost 10 years ago.

So, I think it is safe to remove this piece of code.
