Sorry, I'm not sure to get the point. A 'hot' trip point is not a
'passive' trip point. The 'hot' trip point is a critical temperature and
a notification is raised [1][2].

It is the last chance for the system to do something before the next
trip point 'critical' is reached and where an emergency shutdown is done.

The 'passive' trip point is the target temperature for mitigation in a
normal situation when the system is loaded.
