If thermal_class is not registered with the driver core, there is no way to expose the interfaces used by the thermal control framework, so prevent thermal zones and cooling devices from being registered in that case by returning an error from object registration functions. For this purpose, use a thermal_class pointer that will be NULL if the class is not registered. To avoid wasting memory in that case, allocate the thermal class object dynamically and if it fails to register, free it and clear the thermal_class pointer to NULL. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
