Great, thanks! Below is the same patch with a changelog and sign-off.

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@...k.pl>
Subject: ACPI: Fix build for CONFIG_NET unset
Several ACPI drivers fail to build if CONFIG_NET is unset, because
they refer to things depending on CONFIG_THERMAL that in turn depends
on CONFIG_NET. However, CONFIG_THERMAL doesn't really need to depend
on CONFIG_NET, because the only part of it requiring CONFIG_NET is
the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c.
Put the netlink interface in thermal_sys.c under #ifdef CONFIG_NET
and remove the dependency of CONFIG_THERMAL on CONFIG_NET from
drivers/thermal/Kconfig.
