[PATCH v1 04/14] thermal/of: Move the node pointer assignation in the OF code file

From: Daniel Lezcano

Date: Sun Apr 19 2026 - 14:24:31 EST


The node pointer being assigned to the cooling device structure is an
action done by the thermal OF only and does not belong to the core
framework code. Move the node pointer assignation in the thermal OF
code. Consequently, the devm_thermal_of_cooling_device_register() can
call its non-devm version resulting in a more intuitive design of the
API.
