The thermal-sensor property of the thermal zone node accepts phandles to
thermal sensors. However, thermal zones can be created as an
aggregation of other thermal zones. Extend the thermal-sensors property
to allow phandles to other thermal zones. This patch also adds an
example that showcases how a board thermal zone can be created from the
aggregation of the cpu, gpu and lcd thermal zones.

Notes:
Hi devicetree,
Is it ok to extend the definition of the thermal-sensors property like
this? IOW are phandles strongly typed?

+The above example is a different take at example (d). We create one
+thermal zone per sensor: cpu_thermal, gpu_thermal and lcd_thermal.
+Each of which has its own trip point for each own cooling device. We
+then define a board_thermal thermal zone that is a combination of all
+the other thermal zones. If the board hits its warm_trip, then all
+cooling devices are throttled.
+
+This example illustrates how we can throttle each device individually
+if its too hot and at the same time have some control over the whole
+system.
