Thank you for the patches but they seem to be far from being
a complete solution for issues fixed by my patchset. Even
thermal core part is not finished yet as it doesn't provide
a way to register disabled sensors for DT thermal drivers (only
for platform ones)..

Why not simply apply my patchset now and incrementally work
on top of it to implement fixes for issues your patchset is
addressing?

My patchset may not be a perfect solution but IMO it is good
enough and it has been practically ready since v1 posted in
April (v2 fixes all issues requested by Eduardo's review from
September)..
