Sorry my reply was confusing, let me clarify. What I meant to say is that
the threshold interrupts (cold, hot2normal, hot, low offset, high offset) only
trigger in filtered mode. AFAICT that's by design, since immediate mode is meant
only for one-off temperature readings, and filtered mode is the one meant to be
used for temperature monitoring. But in immediate mode you could still get the
data ready for immediate mode (bits 16, 17, 18, 27) interrupts triggering.
Though note that I have disabled those in my series, since they are triggered
constantly.

I'm testing on the Acer Chromebook 514 (mt8192-asurada-spherion-r0). And noticed
the interrupts aren't triggered on Acer Chromebook Spin 513
(mt8195-cherry-tomato-r2).
