Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] thermal: introduce by-name softlink

The paths thermal_zone%d and cooling_device%d are not intuitive and the
numbers are subject to change due to device tree change. This usually
leads to tree traversal in userspace code.
The patch creates `tz-by-name' and `cdev-by-name' for thermal zone and
cooling_device respectively.


Changes since v1 [1]:
 * Split cooling device registration into a seperate patch
Changes since v2 [2]:
 * Split improve error message in thermal zone registration

[1]: v1: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1139450/
[2]: v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/4/1291

Wei Wang (3):
  thermal: prevent cooling device with no type to be registered
  thermal: improve error message in thermal zone registration
  thermal: create softlink by name for thermal_zone and cooling_device
