Yes, it is here:

		thermal: thermal at 1100b000 {
                         #thermal-sensor-cells = <1>;
                         compatible = "mediatek,mt8183-thermal";
                         reg = <0 0x1100b000 0 0x1000>;
                         clocks = <&infracfg CLK_INFRA_THERM>,
                                  <&infracfg CLK_INFRA_AUXADC>;
	                clock-names = "therm", "auxadc";
                         resets = <&infracfg 
MT8183_INFRACFG_AO_THERM_SW_RST>;
                         interrupts = <0 76 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_LOW>;
                         mediatek,auxadc = <&auxadc>;
		        mediatek,apmixedsys = <&apmixedsys>;
                         nvmem-cells = <&thermal_calibration>;
			nvmem-cell-names = "calibration-data";
		};

Because sustainable-power is wrong. It is probably coming from a 
copy-paste. It does not make sense to have this.

The sustainable-power is for the power allocator governor which is 
limited to CPU and GPU. Here the thermal zones are for different devices.

Especially that, if a user needs to use the sensor

If the thermal zone is disabled, how can it use the sensor?

Please do this:

Add:

trips {
        threshold : trip1 {
            	temperature = <50000>;
                 type = "passive";
           };
};

And remove all the empty cooling maps and the sustainable power properties.
