Subject: [GIT PULL] Thermal management updates for v4.10-rc6

Hi, Linus,

Please pull from
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rzhang/linux.git for-rc

to receive the latest Thermal Management updates for v4.10-rc6 with
top-most commit 3feb479cea37fc623cf4e705631b2e679cbfbd7a:

  Revert "thermal: thermal_hwmon: Convert to
hwmon_device_register_with_info()" (2017-01-25 09:51:08 +0800)

on top of commit 883af14e67e8b8702b5560aa64c888c0cd0bd66c:

  Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew) (2017-01-24 16:54:39 -0800)

Specifics:

commit 7611fb68062f ("thermal: thermal_hwmon: Convert to
hwmon_device_register_with_info()"), which is introduced in 4.10-rc5,
uses new hwmon API. But this breaks some soc thermal driver because the
new hwmon API has a strict rule for the hwmon device name.
Revert the offending commit as a quick solution for 4.10.

thanks,
rui
