Because otherwise, you are asking to merge duplicated code. There's a
generic way to define thermal zones, trip points, cooling devices,
etc. And also code to parse and plug them together. Why add
soc-specific code to do the same?

Yes, and OMAP is already using the generic bindings, and the proposed
patches for Tegra as well, and I think it would make sense for
Rockchip to also use them (unless I'm missing something).
