The ACPI thermal driver creates a link in the thermal zone device
sysfs directory pointing to the device sysfs directory. At the same
time, it creates a back pointer link from the device to the thermal
zone device sysfs directory.

From a generic perspective, having a device pointer in the sysfs
thermal zone directory may make sense. But the opposite is not true as
the same driver can be related to multiple thermal zones.

The usage of these information is very specific to ACPI and it is
questionable if they are really needed.

Let's make the code optional and disable it by default.

It is OK to move the code to the separate functions below, but it is
not OK to make it depend on the Kconfig option above.

The extra sysfs things were added in different drivers for different
reasons. Making them all depend on one Kconfig option is just wrong.

Ok, I'll do the changes accordingly.

Thanks for reviewing the series
