Right, that would be better, and it is what all other drivers do.

For some reason, some drivers depend on !CPU_THERMAL and others
depend on !THERMAL_OF here, and I think the result is the same, but
we are a bit inconsistent here. CPU_THERMAL cannot be set if THERMAL_OF
is disabled, and the header file only uses the 'extern' declaration
if both are set.
