[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: "Rajanikanth H.V" <rajanikanth.hv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit eeb0751c99522a4d1bbcc7b6bc1460cd07d07488 upstream.

Power supply subsystem creates thermal zone device for the property
'POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP' which requires thermal subsystem to be ready
before 'ab8500 battery temperature monitor' driver is initialized. ab8500
btemp driver is initialized with subsys_initcall whereas thermal subsystem
is initialized with fs_initcall which causes
thermal_zone_device_register(...) to crash since the required structure
'thermal_class' is not initialized yet:
