Add details of the interface thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() and
thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister() in the thermal/sysfs-api.txt.

The details describes the functionality and parameter which
are passed to these interfaces.

+1.1.3 struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(
+ struct device *dev, int sensor_id, void *data,
+ const struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *ops)
+
+ This interface adds a new sensor to a DT thermal zone.
+ This function will search the list of thermal zones described in
+ device tree and look for the zone that refer to the sensor device
+ pointed by dev->of_node as temperature providers. For the zone
+ pointing to the sensor node, the sensor will be added to the DT
+ thermal zone device.
+
+ The parameters for this interface are:
+ dev: Device node of sensor containing valid node pointer in
+ dev->of_node.
+ sensor_id: a sensor identifier, in case the sensor IP has more
+ than one sensors
+ data: a private pointer (owned by the caller) that will be
+ passed back, when a temperature reading is needed.
+ ops: struct thermal_zone_of_device_ops *.
+
+ get_temp: a pointer to a function that reads the
+ sensor temperature. This is mandatory
+ callback provided by sensor driver.
+ get_trend: a pointer to a function that reads the
+ sensor temperature trend.
+ set_emul_temp: a pointer to a function that sets
+ sensor emulated temperature.
+ The thermal zone temperature is provided by the get_temp() function
+ pointer of thermal_zone_of_device_ops. When called, it will
+ have the private pointer @data back.
+
+ It returns error pointer if fails otherwise valid thermal zone device
+ handle. Caller should check the return handle with IS_ERR() for finding
+ whether success or not.
+
+1.1.4 void thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister(struct device *dev,
+ struct thermal_zone_device *tzd)
+
+ This interface unregisters a sensor from a DT thermal zone which was
+ successfully added by interface thermal_zone_of_sensor_register().
+ This function removes the sensor callbacks and private data from the
+ thermal zone device registered with thermal_zone_of_sensor_register()
+ interface. It will also silent the zone by remove the .get_temp() and
+ get_trend() thermal zone device callbacks.
