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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
