Stripping "-thermal" prefix is a bit bigger task, because it is later
used to find the actual nodes. The thermal framework does not store
device_node pointer, but looks up by the name.

There is on-going work around this:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231012175836.3408077-2-thierry.reding@gmail.com/

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231221124825.149141-27-angelogioacchino.delregno@collabora.com/

so I will just fix the DTS (shorten the name) and fix bindings for 11
characters.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
