ARM: dts: sun9i-a80: Add thermal sensor and thermal zones

This commit adds the device node for the A80 thermal sensor and defines
the thermal zones in the device tree. It maps the sensors to the big CPU
cluster, DRAM, GPU, and little CPU cluster.

[Severity: Medium]
Since cpu0 on the sun9i-a80 is part of the little CPU cluster, does this
map the cpu0 thermal zone to the wrong sensor? The commit message notes
that sensor 0 is beside the big CPU cluster. This could lead to mislabeled
temperatures in userspace and potentially throttle the wrong cluster if
cooling maps are added later.

[Severity: Medium]
Are these names cross-mapped? This maps cpu2-thermal to sensor 3, which the
commit message states is beside the little CPU cluster. Since cpu2 is also
typically a little core, should the node names better reflect the actual
big/little clusters to avoid confusion?
