Datasheet says that two alarm interrupt at 120 and 140degC. 165 degC is 
shutdown temp on which PMIC get shutdown.
So just says as the warning interrupt.

There is no new DT property and so did not added. But will add the doc 
saying the mandatory properties from thermal framework i.e. 
#thermal-sensor-cells

Yes, I compile and tested .

The help should be minimum 4 lines otherwise warning is generated. I 
made it for next patch.

Second warning is:
/**
WARNING: added, moved or deleted file(s), does MAINTAINERS need updating?
#57:

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 174 lines checked

0001-thermal-max77620-Add-thermal-driver-for-reporting-ju.patch has 
style problems, please review.
**/

This is because new file get added and I think we can ignore it.

yaah, there is no way other than getting the bit for whether temp 
crossed threshold or not.

This driver is sub mfd devices and it is registered without device node 
pointer.
The DT binding doc for the mfdmax77620 is flat, does not have thermal 
sub node.

hence to get the of_node for sensor, I am making the device node as node 
pointer for thermal sensor.
I can overwrite as
  pdev->dev.of_node = pdev->dev.parent->of_node also without check for 
simplification.
