I have just preserved the old behaviour for -rcX fix.

It looks like we don't need this check (we will not register the
thermal zone if therm dev is not correct).

I think that it is up to you to decide how we proceed.
Shall this patch go into v3.12-rcX since it is "obvious" (and documents
what and when was broken) or would you require to prepare "new" patch
