Because both ADC channel and thermal zone registers should be
programmed accordingly.

One not-so-perfect approach would be to use io-channels property to
locate the adc's adc-chan node and to parse it. However this way
thermal driver would have to know the exact structure of adc's device
tree nodes.
Another (even worse) solution would be to introduce qcom-specific API
to query these properties from the IIO channel.

Selecting between these two options I decided to follow the downstream
path and just to duplicate these few properties.
