For boards that provide a PCB sensor close to SoC junction
temperature, it is possible to remove the cumulative heat
reported by the SoC temperature sensor.

This patch changes the extrapolation computation to consider
an external sensor in the extrapolation equations.

I can not see this piece of code.
But I assume that the thermal_zone_device is registered in another
driver, right?
or else you can use the thermal_zone_device pointer directly instead.

thanks,

It is because I made this patch based on staging-next. But you will find 
the same under drivers/stating/omap-thermal/omap-bandgap.c


Yes. The sensor managed by another driver. And the temperature lookup is 
assumed to be done by the fw.

I'd not recommend this because of the above statements
