When registering a thermal zone device, we currently return -EINVAL in
four cases. This is makes is a little hard to debug the real cause of
the failure.

Print some error messages to make it easier for developer to figure out
what happened.

Adding "Error" in the pr_err message is redundant. However I'm not sure
adding more traces is really important, that will add more RO data for a
function which is supposed to be called from wise code.

May be take the opportunity to remove the test 'type' is true because it
is always true after the previous test?
