The actual code is silently ignoring a thermal zone update when a driver is requesting it without a get_temp ops set. That looks not correct, as the caller should not have called this function if the thermal zone is unable to read the temperature. That makes the code less robust as the check won't detect the driver is inconsistently using the thermal API and that does not help to improve the framework as these circumvolutions hide the problem at the source. In order to detect the situation when it happens, let's add a warning when the update is requested without the get_temp() ops set. Any warning emitted will have to be fixed at the source of the problem: the caller must not call thermal_zone_device_update if there is not get_temp callback set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
