This looks like you're doing things the opposite way from everyone else.
Normally, each device uses phandles to refer to other objects it depends
on (gpio lines, regulators, clocks, interrupts, ...), rather than listing
things that depend on it.

Can you turn this around to be more like the others?

Note also that device tree identifiers should use '-' as a word separator,
not '_', and that a binding document should specify the exact set of
possible values. If the properties contain strings, please list every
valid string.

Boolean properties should be empty when enabled and not present when
disabled. In this example, one would just write

thermister-internal-to-battery;
