I wouldn't remove that export. I can see in my Pixel6 modules dir, that
it's called in 7 places.

I assume that in Android world this is common use.

It is not possible to do changes taking into consideration out of tree code. Moreover there is logically no good reason to use the thermal_cdev_update() function from outside of the thermal core code.
