The problem is because the thermal subsystem calls idr_alloc() passing a NULL pointer for the data. I have fixed this problem in my git tree but haven't sent the patch to Andrew yet.

Are you interested in doing that conversion?

Same here for at least DMA Engine (and perhaps another place in thermal subsystem).
For DMA Engine case
