It should be better to have two new trips and two new cooling maps
defined, instead of having just one trip/map pair, like this:

&package_thermal {
	polling-delay = <1000>;

	trips {
		package_warm: package-warm {
			temperature = <55000>;
			hysteresis = <2000>;
			type = "active";
		};

		package_hot: package-hot {
			temperature = <65000>;
			hysteresis = <2000>;
			type = "active";
		};
	};

	cooling-maps {
		mapX {
			trip = <&package_warm>;
			cooling-device = <&fan THERMAL_NO_LIMIT 1>;
		};

		mapY {
			trip = <&package_hot>;
			cooling-device = <&fan 2 THERMAL_NO_LIMIT>;
		};
	};
};

The idea behind this approach is to keep the fan spinning at the lowest
available speed until the package temperature reaches the second trip's
temperature level, at which point the fan starts ramping up.  An 
approach
like this is already employed by the Pine64 RockPro64 SBC.

This way, we'll be doing our best to keep the fan noise down;  of 
course,
it will depend on the particular heatsink and fan combo how long the fan
can be kept at the lowest speed, but we should aim at supporting as many
different cooling setups as possible, and as well as possible, out of 
the
box and with no additional tweaking required.

Please notice "mapX" and "mapY" as the names of the additional cooling 
maps,
where X and Y are simply the next lowest available indices, which is 
pretty
much the usual way to name the additional cooling maps.
