Hi Peter

O.K. Thanks.

We should not take this patch via netdev, since it is outside of
netdev, even if it does break netdev. So lets polish the patch a bit,
and then repost it to linux-pm and its maintainers.

Please could you add a Fixes: tag. Can you figure out which commit
broke it, or has it always been broken?

Add a stable: tag, indicating it needs to be back ported. For netdev,
you would not do this, but for linux-pm, i guess it is needed.

Change the subject a little. thermal: Fix broken registration if sensor OF node missing.

Add

Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@...n.ch>

When you post it, please Cc: me, netdev, davem, but make the To: the
three thermal maintainers.

Thanks
      Andrew
