MT8365 SoC has 4 x A53 CPUs. The SoC has 4 thermal zones per sensor. Thermal zone 0 corresponds

to all 4 x A53 CPUs, the other thermal zones (1, 2 and 3) has nothing to do with CPUs. The cooling device type

used for CPUs is passive. FYI, thermal zones 1, 2 and 3 are present in the SoC for debug-purpose only, they are not supposed

to be used for production.
