After reconsidering the fact that zones 1, 2 and 3 are only used for dev/debug, it might be best to avoid

aggregation as you suggested, and keep only support for zone 0 in this driver. Thus I suggest I send a V8

where I keep only below fixes for this patch if that's okay with you:

- Define "raw_to_mcelsius" function pointer for "struct thermal_bank_cfg".

- Fix "mtk_thermal" variable in mtk_read_temp().

- Set "mt->raw_to_mcelsius" in probe().


For zones 1, 2 and 3 we can later add a different driver specific for dev/debug to probe them to

avoid confusion.
