thermal/of: Rework the thermal device tree initialization
The following changes are reworking entirely the thermal device tree initialization. The old version is kept until the different drivers using it are converted to the new API. The old approach creates the different actors independently. This approach is the source of the code duplication in the thermal OF because a thermal zone is created but a sensor is registered after. The thermal zones are created unconditionnaly with a fake sensor at init time, thus forcing to provide fake ops and store all the thermal zone related information in duplicated structures. Then the sensor is initialized and the code looks up the thermal zone name using the device tree. Then the sensor is associated to the thermal zone, and the sensor specific ops are called with a second level of indirection from the thermal zone ops. When a sensor is removed (with a module unload), the thermal zone stays there with the fake sensor. The cooling device associated with a thermal zone and a trip point is stored in a list, again duplicating information, using the node name of the device tree to match afterwards the cooling devices. The new approach is simpler, it creates a thermal zone when the sensor is registered and destroys it when the sensor is removed. All the matching between the cooling device, trip points and thermal zones are done using the device tree, as well as bindings. The ops are no longer specific but uses the generic ones provided by the thermal framework. When the old code won't have any users, it can be removed and the remaining thermal OF code will be much simpler.
