After thinking a bit more about it, I think you're right.  If the
rockchip_thermal driver ever gets changed to require use of GRF on
the RK3588(s), only then adding that property to the DT would be
the right thing to do.

After having second thoughts, I'll see to improve the rockchip_thermal
driver to emit that warning only when having "rockchip,grf" specified
is actually needed for the particular Rockchip SoC.  That's how it 
should
behave, yelling about the wrong hardware description only when that's
actually the case.
