If I understad correctly this error happen 100% of the time, not only
during init. Hence seems there is an issue here, i.e. cur_ucode is not
marked correctly as IWL_UCODE_REGULAR or iwl_mvm_get_temp() fail
100% of the time (iwl_mvm_is_tt_in_fw() incorrecly return true on
Prarit device ? ).

BTW, you implement thermal_zone device, but do you also need hwmon
device? Perhaps using theramal_zone_params no_hwmon option would be
proper here?
