    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.
