Yes, it is observed. We are using:
CONFIG_CPU_THERMAL=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_THERMAL=y
If the SoC temperature oscillates  around the passive trip point, it is not
possible to read out /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp after
a while (minutes). For reproduction either heat the device up a bit or set
the passive trip point lower.

imx_get_temp() itself doesn't handle concurrent invocations properly, despite
it may seem it does. The sensor is switched on/off without control.
That is a flaw in imx_get_temp().
No evidence the core locking is wrong.

data->irq_enabled is set to false in imx_thermal_alarm_irq() each time
the interrupt arrives. imx_get_temp() does wrong decision based
on the value later.
