I would generally prefer something conservative, to be appropriate for most
boards. But I do not have any strong opinion on the exact trip points used; I am
fine with adjusting them.

Mostly I want to know the source of the cooling map -- where the numbers came
from, and what changes were made. That provides context if we want to change the
map in the future, or if we run in to issues on some other board.

Regards,
Samuel
