The only reason to have a regulator in the thermal node is to keep the CPU cores up while reading temperatures, but this is incorrect because the AUXADC Thermal IP doesn't need any regulators to work, at all. Since the thermal node was inherited only for adding vregs, remove it entirely. This change is safe also because, among other things, the actual driver never used those regulators anyway. This also fixes a dtbs_check warning. Signed-off-by: AngeloGioacchino Del Regno <angelogioacchino.delregno@collabora.com>
