I bisected the problem to
ARM: dts: sunxi: Remove thermal zones without trip points

Reverting this commit remove the warning.

The thermal subsystem seems to require a thermal zone be present for each thermal sensor that is registered.

So maybe a better solution is not to remove the thermal zones without trip points, but just add the standard passive and critical trip points based on the SoC's thermal limits.
