Use thermal zone names that make more sense.

Removing the defines is an ABI break. If these are all the same devices,
but with more accurate naming, then keep the old defines and add new
ones. However, the GPU1 define changes in the course of this patch which
is more problematic.
[RFC] When PATCH 1/6 and 2/6 are squashed, checkpatch raises this WARNING:
"DT binding docs and includes should be a separate patch." That's why I
split them in this v5. The problem is that the driver can't be compiled
any more at PATCH 1/6. It needs PATCH 2/6 to be compiled. Should the
checkpatch warning be ignored here ? Should I finally squash PATCH 1/6
and PATCH 2/6 ?
Heh, and there's just one of the issues caused by your ABI break...

Conor,

Would Russell's suggestion be acceptable for you ?
I mean, this one:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZlDMNkdE2jmFgD8B@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I could implement it, but before submitting it I would like to make
sure that it suits everyone.

Julien


Why do these names even make more sense? Where did the old names come
from and where do the new?

Thanks,
Conor
