why not use built-in temperature sensor

tmu: tmu at 30260000 {
                                compatible = "fsl,imx8mp-tmu";
                                reg = <0x30260000 0x10000>;
                                clocks = <&clk IMX8MP_CLK_TSENSOR_ROOT>;
                                nvmem-cells = <&tmu_calib>;
                                nvmem-cell-names = "calib";
                                #thermal-sensor-cells = <1>;
                        };
