Subject: thermal zones break with patch "Reimplement IDR and IDA using the radix tree" (mainline+next)

Hi,

commit b05bbe3ea2db ("Reimplement IDR and IDA using the radix tree") seems to
break thermal zone allocation. This happens both on todays mainline and 
linux-next-20161216 and produces errors like:

System is a Rockchip rk3288-veyron and it has 4 thermal zones (3 from
the thermal ip block of the soc and one from the battery).

Reverting the patch mentioned above results in thermal zones being
registered again.

While I haven't looked to deeply into what idr exactly does, some findings:
- thermal_zone0 and thermal_zone1 are allocated correctly
- every further thermal_zone always gets allocated the number "1"
- thermal core calls idr_alloc with 0 for both start and end
- the rewrite-patch seems to change the semantics of idr_alloc
  where it orignally said "@end: the maximum id (exclusive, <= 0 for max)"
  the "<= 0" part is gone now, but I checked, simply setting INT_MAX
  as end in the thermal_core does not help
