Should probably wait until v6.9-rc1 so that the patch in question is
in the base tree, otherwise TZs will fail to register.

FWIW, Compile-tested only (except 8280).

Are you sure these changes are correct. They are not related to commit 488164006a28.

If the sensor has interrupt support, then it can specify:

polling-delay = <0>;

As a zero polling value can be omitted in the DT then it can be removed.


Then when a trip point is crossed, the interrupt fires but then it must sample the temperature of the thermal zone to do the mitigation.

I doubt polling-delay-passive must be removed. The changes you introduced just disable the mitigation and that will lead to board wild reboots.
