Studying this a bit more, git blame pointed to this SHA[1] that fixed
it so that NULL value for 'type' is allowed, we just check for it.
However, none of the users of thermal_cooling_device_register() seem
to pass NULL.

Rui, any insight into the history of why we would NOT want to create a
sysfs attribute by passing NULL? Do we still need to allow for NULL
values or should we cleanup the API to prevent NULL values?
