[PATCH] thermal: imx: Do NOT return -EPROBE_DEFER when "#cooling-cells" is present

The legacy CPU cooling should ONLY be used when "#cooling-cells" is NOT
present in cpu node, current implementation for registering legacy cooling
always return -EPROBE_DEFER when cpufreq is NOT ready, that will cause
thermal driver probe failed when cpufreq failed to probe with a non
-EPROBE_DEFER reason. In such case, thermal driver should continue probe
and provide temperature monitor and other cooling methods.

So, for the case of "#cooling-cells" present in cpu node, no need to
return -EPROBE_DEFER even cpufreq is NOT ready, this is to make sure
thermal driver can continue probe.
