please do not use thermal zone type as the parameter because unique
thermal zone type string is not a hard rule.
If this is really needed, I'd prefer two APIs instead
1. struct thermal_zone_device * thermal_zone_get_zone_by_name(char
*name);
2. int thermal_zone_get_temperature(struct thermal_zone_device *, int
*temperature);

And in thermal_zone_get_zone_by_name(), you should parse all the thermal
zone list and return an error code instead if multiple zones are found.
