This patch creates new APIs to add/remove a
cdev to/from a zone. This patch does not change
the old cooling device implementation.

Hmmm,
I'd prefer to see the code organized in this way:
/* thermal zone APIs/
thermal_zone_device_register()
thermal_zone_device_unregister()
add_thermal_zone()
remove_thermal_zone()

/* sensor APIs */
thermal_sensor_register()
thermal_sensor_unregister()
add_sensor_to_zone()
remove_sensor_from_zone()

/* cdev APIs */
thermal_cooling_device_register()
thermal_cooling_device_unregister()
add_cdev_to_zone()
remove_cdev_from_zone()

/* helper APIs */
get_sensor_by_name()
get_cdev_by_name()

but if this makes your rebase MUCH more difficult, I think we can
generate an incremental cleanup patch instead.

thanks,
rui

Same comments on patch 02/08 I want to rise here:

- Consider using linked list
- You may have contention on your index/cdevs array
- overflow on your buffer (carefully check your implementation)
- zone removal condition. can we remove zones with cdevs registered?
- get_by_name, why do we need it? (at least not on this patch)
- Minors on strlcpy, snprintf, devm_ helpers
- documentation in the code for these helper functions and also better 
naming..

Yes, as I said in 02/08.

The platform drivers need this API to query the pointer for cdevs,
sensors.
