Device Tree bindings describe hardware and must remain OS-agnostic.
The thermal zone node name length limit is derived from Linux's
THERMAL_NAME_LENGTH macro, which is an implementation detail rather
than a hardware requirement.

Remove the length restriction and its accompanying comment while
preserving the thermal zone naming convention. Any OS-specific limits
should be handled by the implementation rather than encoded in the
Device Tree ABI.
