This explains it, thanks!

The enabling of the thermal zone in iwl_mvm_load_ucode_wait_alive() is
premature or it should get disabled in the other two places that clear
the IWL_MVM_STATUS_FIRMWARE_RUNNING bit.

I'm not sure why the thermal zone depends on whether or not this bit
is set, though. Is it really a good idea to return errors from it if
the interface is not up?

Thanks for this data point!

AFAICS the thermal zone in iwlwifi is always enabled, but only valid
if the interface is up.  It looks to me like the thermal core needs a
special "don't poll me" error code to be returned in such cases.
