Based on other drivers that require negative values, I assume patches 1
and 2 of these series are needed, but more for enforcing the API, given
that the current of-thermal driver still retrieves the negative values
from DTB [1].

A third option on top of what I suggested above is to split the series.
Given that you could still get the proper coefficients
with current of-thermal, I would suggest you to split this series into
two (patches 1-2, 3-6) in your next version, so we avoid futher delays
on the driver, while patches 1-2 waits for acks from OF side.
