Hi Everyone,

After recently merged changes in the ACPI thermal and Intel DTS IOSF thermal
drivers, the only callers of thermal_zone_device_register() are the ones
using it for registering thermal zones without any trip points.  They all
pass zeros as 4 (out of 8) function arguments, so retaining the full
thermal_zone_device_register() just for this purpose seems a bit excessive.

For this reason, the series adds a thermal_zone_device_register()
replacement tailored to this specific use case and called
thermal_tripless_zone_device_register() [2/4] and makes all of the
existing callers of the former use the replacement [3/4].  This allows
thermal_zone_device_register() to be dropped [4/4].

The first patch is just a clean up making function headers in thermal.h
a bit more consistent.

This series it not intended to make any functional impact, but if the
changes are fine with everyone, I would like to introduce them during the
ongoing merge window to prevent the obsolete interface from lingering.

The series applies to the linux-next branch in linux-pm.git.

Thanks!
