Yes, mfd node for ams,as3722 is flat node, almost all sub-module driver 
have their property on this node only. Regulator have their own sub node 
under this node.

as3722 {
         compatible = "ams,as3722";
         #gpio-contorller;
         #gpio-cells = <2>;
     ::::::::::
         regulator {
                 ::::
         };
};


So in this, the thermal sensor driver's property is on the as3722 node 
only and thermal zone need to refer this node for sensor.

However, as3722 thermal sensor driver is register as sub mfd devices 
through mfd_add_devices() and thermal sensor drivers pdev->dev.of_node 
does not have any valid pointer.
