So far, all thermal drivers, including the Intel Medfield driver, are in
platform directories. Not sure if that is a good location either.
drivers/thermal seems to be the natural place. That there are no drivers
in drivers/thermal should not be a reason to move it elsewhere.
One driver has to be the first, after all.

hwmon just doesn't seem right, since hwmon support for thermal devices is optional.

Jean, any opinion ?
