It seems the original Author lost interest in the hierarchical thermal
zones. I am not convinced that we need hierarchical thermal zones for
the Mediatek driver since from the five sensors we only need the maximum
temperature (If this ever changes we could still rework it).

Given the current speed of communication I am not willing to add
another, possibly controversal, dependency to an otherwise simple
driver. I am even less willing when concerns like these come after *v12*
of this series.

Eduardo, it would really help to get a word from you.
