thermal_of_cooling_device_register() and thermal_cooling_device_register() are typically called from driver probe functions, and thermal_cooling_device_unregister() is called from remove functions. This makes both a perfect candidate for device managed functions.
Introduce devm_thermal_of_cooling_device_register(). This function can also be used to replace thermal_cooling_device_register() by passing a NULL pointer as device node. The new function requires both struct device * and struct device_node * as parameters since the struct device_node * parameter is not always identical to dev->of_node.
Don't introduce a device managed remove function since it is not needed at this point.
The patch series introduces the new function and then converts various hwmon drivers to use it.
