This is shared memory(cache-able) which is shared between two micro controllers.
One micro controller update temperature of all thermal zones in this
shared memory.
thermal driver running on another micro controller monitors
temperature data of all thermal zones.

In our system we have 6 different thermal zones. each node belongs to
one thermal zone.
thermal driver detects each node as separate thermal zone and monitors
separately.
register entry is only 4byte memory which contains the temperature
value of respective thermal zone.
Based on requirement we can increase or decrease the number thermal
zones need to monitor.
