Could you describe why?

The patch is not sufficient. It does not work the way it should...

BTW, I found the issue. The order of trip points in DT:
thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_hyst:5000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_temp:50000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_type:active
thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_hyst:5000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_temp:60000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_type:active
thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_hyst:5000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_temp:70000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_type:active
thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_hyst:0
thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_temp:120000	<---- this should be last one!
thermal_zone0/trip_point_3_type:critical
thermal_zone0/trip_point_4_hyst:5000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_4_temp:90000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_4_type:passive
thermal_zone0/trip_point_5_hyst:5000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_5_temp:110000
thermal_zone0/trip_point_5_type:passive

After fixing the order in DT, the cpu cooler starts working.

Best regards,
