It is generally invalid to change the trip point indices after they have been exposed via sysfs. Moreover, the thermal objects in the ACPI namespace cannot go away and appear on the fly. In practice, the only thing that can happen when the INT3403_PERF_TRIP_POINT_CHANGED notification is sent by the platform firmware is a change of the return values of those thermal objects. For this reason, add a special function for updating the trip point temperatures after re-evaluating the respective ACPI thermal objects and change int3403_notify() to invoke it instead of int340x_thermal_read_trips() that would change the trip point indices on errors. Also remove the locking from the latter, because it is only called before registering the thermal zone and it cannot race with the zone's callbacks. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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 Restructured Text 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.
