Hi Alexandre,

thanks for your series

I think it would make sense to first send a patch fixing the missing 
attribute from txt -> yaml translation with the Fixes tag which was:

"A list of thermal sensor phandles and sensor specifier
   Type: list of		used while monitoring the thermal zone"

And add in the description if there are more than one sensor, then the 
max value will be returned. Then provide the code to get the max value.

The second series of changes would be the other aggregations and the 
implementation.

Maybe 'aggregation' could be a string?

	aggregation = "max";
	aggregation = "min";
	aggregation = "avg";

It should be in the optional section and probably a conditional if 
thermal-sensors has more than one item
