Krzysztof — for context: I did move to thermal-sensors after your
review, but Konrad separately suggested keeping just the provider
phandle instead of enumerating every sensor cell, since we only need a
leading range per provider. qcom,tsens was meant to combine both
suggestions, not ignore yours. Happy to instead just go with your
original suggestion and use plain thermal-sensors, enumerating each
sensor — let me know which you'd prefer.
