[PATCH v1] thermal: trip: Avoid skipping trips in thermal_zone_set_trips()

Say there are 3 trip points A, B, C sorted in ascending temperature
order with no hysteresis. If the zone temerature is exactly equal to
B, thermal_zone_set_trips() will set the boundaries to A and C and the
hardware will not catch any crossing of B (either way) until either A
or C is crossed and the boundaries are changed.

To avoid that, use non-strict inequalities when comparing the trip
threshold to the zone temperature in thermal_zone_set_trips().

In the example above, it will cause both boundaries to be set to B,
which is desirable because an interrupt will trigger when the zone
temperature becomes different from B regardless of which way it goes.
That will allow a new interval to be set depending on the direction of
the zone temperature change.
