Change the step_wise cooling algorithm to handle
THERMAL_TREND_DROP_FULL a bit differently.

When the temperature is higher than the trip point,
we should always use the instance->lower as the next target state.
When the temperature is lower than the trip point,
we should always deactive the thermal instance.

Are you expecting to optimize the system in which way by doing this
change? In which situation we would need to set to instance->lower if we
are at a state which trend is dropping fully?
