The driver will always try to register 4 thermal zones, including cpu,
gpu, mem and pll, but if the dts file doesn't set the corresponding
sensors, then the register will be failed.
Normally, the dts file will set all 4 sensors, but there may have some
platform doesn't support them all. So we post this patch.

BTW, what do you mean "critical sensors"? We will set critical trip temp
for all sensors.
