Add basic thermal driver for bcm2835 SOC.

This driver currently relies on the firmware setting up the
tsense HW block and does not set it up itself.

Just for the same of clarification, is there anything preventing this
driver of using of-thermal API? the above data (slope, offset, and
trip_temps) would be in DT the place where they are supposed to be,
instead of code.
