[PATCH RFC 1/3] thermal: allow hwmon devices to be created for of-thermal zones

[Russell King]

Allow hwmon devices to be optionally created for of-thermal zones,
rather than permanently denying them "in case" there is a hwmon
driver duplicating the thermal driver.

Without this, "sensors" is unable to report the temperature of the
Dove SoC when it supports thermal zones.
