Lots of stuff is SoC internal and described in the DT (e.g. serial
controllers). Just have a look in omap3.dtsi or omap34xx.dtsi.

I put the temperature sensor into its own node for the following
reasons:

 * syscon reference
 * clock reference

I first thought about loading the driver from the syscon driver,
but omap uses a generic one, so that's not an option. Apart from
that one would still need the clock reference.

This is SoC specific and should go into the omap34xx.dtsi and
omap36xx.dtsi files. See also PATCH 3/3.
