Thanks Daniel for reviewing the patch.

I agree that even if a sensor module is unregistered, that would call
"thermal_zone_of_sensor_unregister" which would eventually set NULL on
get_temp() and get_trend() and "tzd->ops" as well.

However, of_thermal_get_temp() is trying to call "data->ops->get_temp"
which comes from a sensor driver when it registers. There is no
guarantee that it would be non-NULL right?

Thinking of which, I think having both checks would be valid.

I've not exercised this condition yet. However, the original problem
we've observed was when thermal HAL was trying to set trip thresholds
on a thermal zone device for which the sensor device is not probed yet.
This had happened randomly because of vendor modules taking time to be
loaded and probed. I don't know if there would be any userspace entity
that can try to set emulated temperature for a thermal zone even before
a sensor device is probed.

Without a sensor driver probed, "tz->ops" would not have a valid pointer
right? So, I think checking for "data->ops" should be good.

Another possibility is, a sensor might not have "set_emul_temp" callback.
So checking for "ops->set_emul_temp" should be still valid.

of_thermal_get_trend() is trying to call "data->ops->get_trend" which
comes from a sensor driver when it registers. From what I can see,
there are lot of drivers which don't pass "get_trend" in their ops.
So there is no guarantee that it would be non-NULL right?

Thinking of which, I think having both checks would be valid.

So, I think checking for "data->ops" should be good. Another possibility is, a
sensor device might not have "set_trip_temp" callback but just "set_trips".

So checking for "data->ops->set_trip_temp" might be still valid.
