Commit 202aa0d4bb53 ("thermal: core: Do not call handle_thermal_trip()
if zone temperature is invalid") caused __thermal_zone_device_update()
to return early if the current thermal zone temperature was invalid.

This was done to avoid running handle_thermal_trip() and governor
callbacks in that case which led to confusion.  However, it went too
far because monitor_thermal_zone() still needs to be called even when
the zone temperature is invalid to ensure that it will be updated
eventually in case thermal polling is enabled and the driver has no
other means to notify the core of zone temperature changes (for example,
it does not register an interrupt handler or ACPI notifier).

Also if the .set_trips() zone callback is expected to set up monitoring
interrupts for a thermal zone, it needs to be provided with valid
boundaries and that can only be done if the zone temperature is known.

Accordingly, to ensure that __thermal_zone_device_update() will
run again after a failing zone temperature check, make it call
monitor_thermal_zone() regardless of whether or not the zone
temperature is valid and make the latter schedule a thermal zone
temperature update if the zone temperature is invalid even if
polling is not enabled for the thermal zone (however, if this
continues to fail, give up after some time).

Rafael,

do we agree that we should fix somehow the current issue in this way because we are close to the merge window, but the proper fix is not doing that ?

I've tested this patch, but I have no opinion about it.

I sent https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240704-topic-sm8x50-upstream-fix-battmgr-temp-tz-warn-v1-1-9d66d6f6efde@xxxxxxxxxx/ which
fixes the warning print, leaving the option for thermal core to update the tz once it becomes available,
which is the initial goal of this patchset.

Neil
