[PATCH] thermal: Add some error messages

[PATCH] thermal: Add some error messages

[Amit Kucheria]

When registering a thermal zone device, we currently return -EINVAL in
four cases. This makes it a little hard to debug the real cause of the
failure.

Print some error messages to make it easier for developer to figure out
what happened.

Please use terminating newlines like:

		pr_err("Error: No thermal zone type defined\n");

[]
> +		pr_err("Error: Thermal zone name (%s) too long, should be under %d chars",

etc...
