drivers: thermal: Indicate in DT the trips are for temperature falling 



SoCs may need to handle the case where the temperature is below the
timing closure temperatures of the logic. At low temperature, the timing
closures may not be met. The compensative action at such temperatures is
to increase the voltage, by switching to a higher OPP.

Thermal governors need to understand that the temperatures are
descending in order to correctly estimate the mitigative actions.
