This function can be called at the same time from multiple places so
it should be reentrant. I think you should call mutex_lock(tz->lock)
before "if (tz->prev_low_trip == low && ..." and unlock it here.

You should add a similar call to thermal_zone_set_trips() in trip_point_temp_store()

Please document these fields in the kerneldoc comment before struct
thermal_zone_device.
