Thanks for spotting the issue and the fix below. Some comments below.

This shouldn't be changed . The zone->sensor_id is used to access the sensor
data in scpi_read_temp and will use the wrong index with the above
change. Which means...

... the thermal zone registration should use sensor->info.sensor_id
instead of zone->sensor_id.

With these two changes, feel free to add
