Linux kernel uses thermal zone node name during registering thermal zones and has a hard-coded limit of 20 characters, including terminating NUL byte. The bindings expect node names to finish with '-thermal' which is eight bytes long, thus we have only 11 characters for the reset of the node name (thus 10 for the pattern after leading fixed character).
