The old verification is ensure that tz and cdev already add to thermal_tz_list and thermal_cdev_list,respectively.
Namely, tz and cdev are definitely registered and intialized.
The check is ok for all untizalized thermal_zone_device and cooling device.
But the new verification doesn't seem to do that.

If the tz or the cdev are registered then their "->node" is not empty because they are linked with the thermal_list and cdev_list

So either way is browsing the lists to find the tz/cdev or just check "->node" is not empty. The latter the faster.

Did I misunderstood your comment ?
