Subject: [PATCH] thermal: core: Print out thermal zone name on update_temperature error

Currently, we can encounter an error like this:

thermal thermal_zone48: failed to read out thermal zone (-19)

It's good to know that there's been an issue, but on some occasions
(like the error happening in the middle of a platform crash), one may
not be able to look up what kind of thermal zone that is.

Add the TZ name to the error message in order to speed up debugging.

s/name/type/ ? It looks like that's what you mean.

First, the tz type is not its name (because there may be multiple
zones of the same type) and it would be consistent with the first
paragraph above.

That's possible, I'm no expert wrt thermal :)

Would you be okay with this change, together with an amended commit
message?

Angelo is looking for how to sort out the name vs type confusion [1].

May be you should wait he comes with a proposal before updating the message?
