What bugged me in the first place was the fact that we are doing this
#ifdef here. But in fact, it is not really necessary, as the parameters
are stored in tzp, and they will be there regardless of the config
status.

I would rename this to thermal_create_zone_params_attrs and remove the
ifdefiry. If you are not exposing the complete info under tzp, then make
a comment about it.

Unless you really want to expose something that is only inside the
governor data struture, you can ignore the above comment.

ditto.

Of course, assuming all we are doing is exposing what is in
thermal_zone_params, which is generic enough to be in thermal_core.c.
