This driver only supports reading thresholds, not setting them.
So I would say not configured and not supported are equivalent.

In our case if there is nothing useful for the EC to do with a
specific threshold (e.g. warn), then we don't set it.
I think chromebooks send a notification to a userspace daemon on warn threshold,
but we don't have that, so we don't do anything and don't set a threshold.
