It would be kind of you to add a more descriptive information of this
device here.

Having examples of usages of above defines improves the understanding of
why we need them. Now, the way this patch is put, looks like they are
optional (not even needed). For instance, you mention in the
thermal-sensor-cells "Should be 1", so, why having extra defines?
