I believe the problem is more in the fact that THERMAL_OF is a bool, but
the way it is in thermal Kconfig, it will link to the thermal module, in
case CONFIG_THERMAL=m. Thus I am proposing the following,
which limits the user to have THERMAL_OF only as builtin and whenever
is selected, it will select THERMAL too. That is:

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] thermal: fix compilation issue on CONFIG_THERMAL_OF
dependencies

Users of API provided by THERMAL_OF config may suffer when
CONFIG_THERMAL=y, causing linking issues, such as:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `lm75_remove':
lm75.c:(.text+0x12bd8c): undefined reference to
`thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `lm75_probe':
lm75.c:(.text+0x12c123): undefined reference to
`thermal_zone_of_sensor_register'

Therefore, this patch limits the compilation build to always
have THERMAL=y, whenever THERMAL_OF=y. In this way, whenever
the API user is built, if THERMAL_OF=y, the build shall have
the full thermal support, otherwise, the thermal API will provide
stubs.

Randy, can you please confirm if this fix the issue for you?
