   This PR mostly meets the NuttX requirements, but could use some improvements 
for clarity and completeness.
   
   **Strengths:**
   
   * The summary clearly explains the *what* and *why* of the changes.
   * The impact section identifies the affected area (drivers/thermal).
   * Testing logs are included, demonstrating the functionality before and 
after the change.
   * The testing section mentions CI, which is good, but needs more detail.
   
   **Weaknesses:**
   
   * **Summary:**  While it explains *what* changed, the *how* is missing.  
Specifically, how is `THERMAL_NORMAL` split into `THERMAL_ACTIVE` and 
`THERMAL_PASSIVE`? What code changes were made?  A brief explanation of the 
mechanism for different update intervals would be helpful. Similarly, more 
detail on the "dummy passive cooling device" is needed. What is its purpose, 
and how is it implemented?
   * **Impact:** The impact section is too brief.  While it correctly 
identifies the affected subsystem, it needs to explicitly answer *all* the 
questions with YES/NO and provide descriptions where necessary.  For instance:
       * Is new feature added? YES (passive trip point support and dummy 
cooling device)
       * Is existing feature changed? YES (`THERMAL_NORMAL` behavior)
       * Impact on user?  Potentially YES if they relied on the previous 
`THERMAL_NORMAL` behavior. Describe how they might need to adapt.
       * Impact on build? Likely NO, but confirm.
       * Impact on hardware? Likely NO, but confirm.  If specific architectures 
or boards are affected, mention them.
       * Impact on documentation? YES if the new features and changes need to 
be documented.  State whether documentation updates are included in the PR.
       * Impact on security?  Probably NO, but explicitly state it.
       * Impact on compatibility?  Possibly YES if the `THERMAL_NORMAL` change 
affects existing users.  Elaborate.
   * **Testing:** The "CI" mention is insufficient.  Specify which CI system is 
used and provide links to the successful CI runs.  Furthermore, the testing 
logs are difficult to interpret without more context.  Explain what the numbers 
represent (e.g., temperature, fan speed, time elapsed). Highlight the key parts 
of the log that demonstrate the intended behavior. For example, explicitly 
point out where the interval changes from 4 seconds to 2 seconds and explain 
why that validates the change.
   
   
   **Recommendations for Improvement:**
   
   1. **Expand the Summary:** Provide more technical details about the 
implementation of the passive trip point and the dummy cooling device. Explain 
the mechanism for achieving different update intervals.
   2. **Complete the Impact Section:** Answer all questions with YES/NO and 
provide detailed descriptions for each YES.
   3. **Enhance the Testing Section:**  Provide links to CI runs.  Add more 
context and explanations to the testing logs, highlighting the crucial parts 
that validate the changes.  Consider adding more test cases, such as testing 
with different temperature thresholds.  Clearly state the expected behavior and 
show how the logs confirm that behavior.
   
   
   By addressing these weaknesses, the PR will be significantly improved and 
easier for reviewers to understand and approve.
