Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:
- [High] The newly added generic-adc-thermal sensor node lacks a corresponding `thermal-zones` node, causing a guaranteed probe failure on boot.

ARM: dts: microchip: sama7d65: add temperature sensor

This commit adds a generic-adc-thermal temperature sensor node to the
SAMA7D65 device tree.

[Severity: High]
Will this generic-adc-thermal node fail to probe during boot because a
corresponding thermal-zones node is missing from the device tree?

When gadc_thermal_probe() runs, it calls devm_thermal_of_zone_register(),
which relies on of_thermal_zone_find() to parse the device tree for a
thermal-zones node. 

Since this commit adds the sensor but omits the thermal-zones definition,
does this cause the lookup to unconditionally return -ENODEV and abort the
probe with a Thermal zone sensor register failed: -19 error log?
