Hmm, I just realized that power supply exposing POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TEMP
will have a thermal zone created for it by default, which will expose
said reading via thermal/HWMON integration layer. Do we want to do
anything about this duplication of functionality? Maybe hide it here
if desc->no_thermal is true? Or just drop reporting temperature from
this patch?

Thanks,
