Hi Bartosz,

Following up on this: "pmau0102-e-sdram3-thermal" exceeds the
thermal-zones.yaml node name limit (11 chars before "-thermal").
Since v2 moves these zones into the board DTs per Konrad's comment,
I will name them after the measured component, i.e. sdram3-thermal,
sdram1-thermal and ufs-thermal, like other boards do. I will drop
your Acked-by in v2 as the patch changes quite a bit.
