Subject: [PATCH] regulator: max8973: add THERMAL_OF dependency

The max8973 regulator driver has gained thermal support, but it
now fails to link when the driver is built-in and CONFIG_THERMAL=m:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `max8973_remove':
console.c:(.text+0x94ac4): undefined reference to `thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `max8973_probe':
console.c:(.text+0x95710): undefined reference to `thermal_zone_of_sensor_register'

This adds a dependency "depends on THERMAL || !THERMAL_OF" to ensure
that the driver cannot be built-in when THERMAL=m but is forced to
be a module as well, unless THERMAL_OF is disabled.

I've run into the same problem a couple of times now, with every driver
that calls thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(). I think we need a better
solution in general, but this fixes the immediate build error for now.

Maybe we should replace the "#ifdef CONFIG_THERMAL_OF" with "#if
IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_THERMAL) && IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_THERMAL_OF)"?
The disadvantage of that is that the thermal management would be
silently disabled rather than cause a link error, and that may also
not be desired.
