No emulation does cause any h/w issue.

Yes agreed. Will re-submit with kconfig option.

Yes It makes sense and we can have pure software emulation and use the
cached temperature when no platform call is registered. In my case I
needed this in h/w so to have the same sensor trigger interrupts
behaviour.

So the code flow can be like this,

#ifdef CONFIG_THERMAL_EMULATION
if (thermal_ops->set_emul_temp)
then pass emul_temp to platform and use the normal platform
thermal_ops->get_temp
else
Store it locally and use emul_temp  instead of calling platform
thermal_ops->get_temp
#endif

I will re-submit with this change.
