The rest of this patch series starts using it.

I decided to include <linux/temperature.h> from <linux/thermal.h> because
the existing <linux/thermal.h> provides the conversion helpers.

However, not all of the thermal drivers require these conversion helpers,
so we can change to include <linux/temperature.h> from each thermal driver
instead of including it from <linux/thermal.h>.

Which way do you prefer?
