There are two parts of thermal dts, one is the tsens which are different on each platform.
The other are common thermal-zone definitions, these are covered by thermal binding doc.
The property is added by us for our platforms, if want to put it in example, I need to copy
Hope piece of common thermal-zone node.

For now, the SCU API we used are platform independent, the ONLY parameter depends
on platform is resource ID, we can get it from dtb node.

OK, I think we can use a more generic compatible name like "fsl,imx-sc-thermal".
