Mikko, soctherm doesn't "export thermal zones". I would rewrite your desription like this:
Extend the Tegra124 device tree by adding the soctherm thermal sensing and management unit and by defining four thermal zones -- one for each temperature sensor in soctherm.
System integrators have some flexibility in deciding how many thermal zones to define for their platform. For example, an integrator could define a single zone for the entire Tegra chip (giving a simple system at runtime) or with multiple zones (giving potentially higher performance near thermal limits). That's why I don't like the implication that soctherm dictates the existence of particular thermal zones.
