With this you have removed the only cooling device whose type was
"Processor".  There's special code for dealing with this cooling
device in drivers/thermal/thermal_core.c:passive_store():

		list_for_each_entry(cdev, &thermal_cdev_list, node) {
			if (!strncmp("Processor", cdev->type,
				     sizeof("Processor")))
				thermal_zone_bind_cooling_device(tz,
						THERMAL_TRIPS_NONE, cdev,
						THERMAL_NO_LIMIT,
						THERMAL_NO_LIMIT);
		}
		mutex_unlock(&thermal_list_lock);
		if (!tz->passive_delay)

With your change, that code is now "dead" as it can't do anything.  No
I don't know what should you do with it, either remove it or make it
match the cpufreq cooling device.  But this patch should deal with
that code as well.

Cheers,
Javi
