Actually, the current behavior is to go through all the sensors and
register them. By side effect, we end up by registering a sensor with an
id matching the one specified in the DT, others are failing.

That is because there is something missing in the of-thermal API where
we can't call thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() without a matching index.

That is probably why we have in the drivers/thermal/qoriq_thermal.c file
the qoriq_tmu_get_sensor_id() which inspect the thermal-zone DT
structure for the thermal-sensors and read the sensor's id from there in
order to reuse it for thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(). Needless to say
that is not the right place to do that.

IMHO, as nothing gets changed for the moment on hi6220, we can live with
HISI_DEFAULT_SENSOR until we sort out what to do with
thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().

Ok, I will fix that.

Thanks for the review.
