s/CONFIG_THERMAL/CONFIG_RESET_CONTROLLER/ ?

This doesn't work as expected. When NVMEM is off I can still not select
MTK_THERMAL, even when COMPILE_TEST is enabled.

Even if it would work, do we really want this? It raises eyebrows and
without reading the commit messages it's probably not clear what's going
on here. I don't see that much value in it.
