Nack, this will actually break the driver. This device has several
sections of registers, and not a single io region. Check
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/ti_soc_thermal.txt for examples.

In case resource 0 is not found, the error will be repassed.

And yes, other IORESOURCE_MEM resources are required, depending on chip
version.
