Question:
will this bring hardware issue? Say, critical temperature reached while
in emulation mode?

As this is for debug purpose, I'd prefer to have a seperate Kconfig
option for this feature.

can we have a pure software temperature emulation method?
say, the generic thermal layer caches the emulated temperature value,
and hook it in update_temperature()?
This is also useful for testing in polling mode, and it does not require
platform specific callback support. I mean thermal_ops->set_emul_temp is
optional, but thermal emulation is always available for all platforms.
