Please no, split this up into at least 2 patches, the first being the
"standard" thermal driver, and the rest for the "custom" extensions you
are proposing.

That way the first can get accepted easily, and into 3.10 (hopefully),
so people can use it and not stall everything as we continue to iterate
over the "custom" things.

As is, this driver isn't acceptable, sorry.
