This seems inconsistent. Why can a thermal zone only have multiple
thermal sensors when they are thermal zones themselves? Either we assume
that one thermal zone has a single sensor or we assume that it can have
multiple sensors, but this should not depend on the zone being a sub zone
or not.
I think the thermal-sensors property should always point to one or
multiple sensors. I see no point in "This property either points to
exactly one sensor or multiple other thermal zones (from which we only
use the temperature)"
