How about making this a hwmon driver instead?
There are already a number of temperature sensor drivers in
driver/hwmon/, I think it would fit in well there.

This would mean moving it to the other directory,
registering it to the common hwmon api (hwmon_device_register)
and rewriting the user API to blend in with the other
hwmon drivers.
