I prefer to Rob suggested way that directly use resource id for thermal-sensor cells.
For SW implementation, we can either parse the sensor resource id from device tree
or statically define it in driver.
Parsing from DT could make the driver more generic and do not need change for the number
Of sensor changes in furture SoCs which probably is better.
One more suggestion is please list all supported sensors in binding doc to avoid confusing.
