The paths thermal_zone%d and cooling_device%d are not intuitive and the
numbers are subject to change due to device tree change. This usually
leads to tree traversal in userspace code.
The patch creates `tz-by-name' and `cdev-by-name' for thermal zone and
cooling_device respectively.

I like this.

This should be a separate fix, if needed.

Any reason not to use the following form instead? It seems easier to read.

if (!cdev_link_kobj) {
               cdev_link_kobj = kobject_create_and_add("cdev-by-name",
                                               cdev->device.kobj.parent);
              ret = sysfs_create_link(cdev_link_kobj,
                                              &cdev->device.kobj, cdev->type))
              if (ret)
                       dev_err(&cdev->device, "Failed to create
cdev-by-name link\n");
}

Same as above.

I can now see why you had to do that - none of the other links would
get created after the first one.

Perhaps create the directories in the __init functions and only create
the links here?

Agree, but the link now requires that "" as invalid _type_.

AFAICT, this is no such API except the private get_device_parent()
under driver/base/. Also the lazy initialization makes sense in such
case when there is no thermal device attached. Looks like the class
dir is also lazy-initialized when first device registered

Perhaps I'm being dense here, in which case my apologies.

But what stops us from splitting the patch into two?
1. Make type == "" as invalid by using your change above and fixing up
the strlcpy(cdev->type....) further down.
2. Create the actual symlinks in a separate patch.
