I don't have a perfect solution either.  But I think this is still
better than making cpufreq not usable.  The cpufreq driver will print
out an error message if thermal is not reachable.  Maybe this can
relief the confusion a little bit?

With my patch, the configuration will just force the cpufreq
driver to be a loadable module as well if thermal is a module,
so the dependency can be resolved by loading the thermal module first.

I think that is really the best way around the problem, and it
matches what other platforms do for the same problem.
