I don't quite get it. The temperature sensor is internal on the CPU,
right? Why do we need device tree to describe it? As soon as we have
CPU that is compatible to ti,omap3430, we know everything we need to
know, no?

Or is there something that depends on the board there? Or do we want
to do it like this to be consistent with existing bindings?
