Hi Daniel,

We are not sure the regmap can solve the problem.
The regmap can lock CORESELECT. But it can not protect 
the other sensors registers which thermal controller start to
read temperature need to access.

After internal disscussion, we don't have this kind of experience to
use regmap to protect some peice of code.
We will do some research of this kind of usage.
Thanks for your suggestion.
