Do we really need this warning? I suppose it should be okay if sensor
isn't attached to any device in a device-tree and just reports
temperature.

I'd rather leave it there for the time being. It will only affect
devicetree
systems (turns out there is already a check for of_node elsewhere). Thermal
zone specification is not always easy and there may be a mismatch between
what is reported by the driver and what the user (programmer) expects to
see (which I think is what happens here). I don't want to silently
ignore such problems without any notification.

We could make it dev_notice and/or change the message (instead of
"Failed to
..." just say "temp%d_input not registered with thermal zone" , maybe ?).

I'd change it to:

dev_info(dev, "temp%d_input not attached to any thermal zone\n", index + 1);


Makes sense. I just sent v2 with that change.

I'd also add an info message to print out to which tzd attachment happened.

Oh, I don't know. Kernel logs are already way too noisy. Either case that would
not be a bug fix, so such a change should not be part of this patch.

Thanks,
Guenter
