Problem is, if we keep this one as-is, then we'll have ambiguous error messages in
this series... unless we stop limiting the tz type string to THERMAL_NAME_LENGTH
as well as not limit the tz name to that...

..and to be completely honest, I actually like the THERMAL_NAME_LENGTH limitation,
because this both limits the length of the related sysfs file and avoids prolonging
error messages with very-very-very long type-strings and name-strings.

What I have in my head is:

imagine having a thermal zone named "cpu-little-bottom-right-core0" and a driver
named "qualcomm-power-controller" (which doesn't exist, but there are drivers with
pretty long names in the kernel anyway).

Kernel logging *may* have very long strings, decreasing readability:
[ 0.0000100 ] qualcomm-power-controller: cpu-little-bottom-right-core0: Failed to 
read thermal zone temperature -22

And sysfs would have something like
cpu-little-top-right-core0 cpu-little-top-left-core0 cpu-little-bottom-right-core0

While sysfs could be ok, are we sure that allowing such long names is a good idea?

It's a genuine question - I don't really have more than just cosmetic reasons and
those are just only personal perspectives....

Okay yes that makes a lot of sense, and also breaks some of my brain loops around
making the migration a bit less painful.

Nice one! Will do :-D

We can but, as a personal consideration, this looks "more complete" - as in - we
are not dropping the thermal zone *type* concept anyway (even though we're doing
"something else" with it), so including both type and name in tracing is useful
to whoever is trying to debug something.

If you have strong opinions against, though, it literally takes 30 seconds for me
to just remove that part and there's no problem in doing so!

Cheers,
Angelo
