Daniel, this change makes it so that trip points with a temperature of
zero are no longer disabled. This behavior was originally added in
commit 81ad4276b505 ("Thermal: Ignore invalid trip points"). The mlxsw
driver relies on this behavior - see mlxsw_thermal_module_trips_reset()
- and with this change I see that the thermal subsystem tries to
repeatedly set the state of the associated cooling devices to the
maximum state. Other drivers might also be affected by this.

Following patch solves the problem for me:

diff --git a/drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c b/drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c

                        set_bit(count, &tz->trips_disabled);
        }

Should I submit it or do you have a better idea?

Thanks
