[PATCH v2 02/12] thermal/of: Move OF code where it belongs to

From: Daniel Lezcano

Date: Wed Apr 22 2026 - 13:43:59 EST


The functions:
- thermal_of_cooling_device_register()
- devm_thermal_of_cooling_device_register()

are related to thermal-of but they are implemented in
thermal-core. Move these functions to the right file.

As the thermal-of file depends on CONFIG_THERMAL_OF=y, by moving these
two functions in it, when non-OF drivers are using this API that
results in a link issue. In order to prevent unnecessary
circumvolutions with the changes, the stubs have been added in the
header file resulting in having the non-OF drivers compiled without
the CONFIG_THERMAL_OF=y using these stubs and failing to register
their cooling devices.

This is temporary as the next changes introduces the functions for
non-OF drivers and returning to the initial state.
