It's coming back. There were attempts to solve this problem.
Javi tried to solved this using hierarchical thermal zones [1].
It was even agreed (IIRC during LPC) but couldn't continue. Then Eduardo
was going to continue this (last message at [3]). Unfortunately,
development stopped.
I also have out-of-tree similar implementation for my Odroid-xu4,
which does no have an 'SoC' sensor, but have CPU sensors and needs
some aggregation function to get temperature.
I can pick up Javi's patches and continue 'hierarchical thermal zones'
approach.
Javi, Daniel, Rui what do you think?

Lukasz
