I'm not entirely sure, because I might have inadverently used a combination of
interrupt and polling when testing this. It may be that if we set polling-delay
to 0 in dts, that tz core will not try to call get_temp prematurely at all, and
will simply wait for temperature update from the interrupt.

I guess this needs to be tested/checked in tz code.
