So perhaps you can answer the question I have.

Right now, we have non-zero delay values, doesn't this mean the thermal 
framework driver has a delay between evaluating dT/dt values per

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal-zones.yaml

Your commit log implies or my reading of it is, there's no functional 
change because its currently driven by an IRQ but, is that actually _so_ 
with non-zero values in the DT?
