At this moment, we have both the interrupt setup and the polling enabled. The
interrupt does nothing more than forcing an update while the temperature is
polled every second.

We can do much better than that, threshold is set to 65C in the DT and the
passive ooling device enters in the dance when 75C is reached. We need to
sample the temperature at 65C in order to let the IPA gather enough values for
the PID computation. If the SoC is running at a temperature below 65C, we will
be constantly polling for nothing.

This patch disables the sensor when the temperature is below the temperature
and enables it when passing the threshold. It resuls the sensor thermal sensor
driver will have no activity most of the time.

Yeah ... :/

Mmh, I'm not sure it is possible to miss an interrupt with this driver but if
it is the case, there are different scenario.

 - The temperature is increasing and reaches the reset value: then the board
   reboots
 - The temperature increases above 65C and then decreases, and increases
   again, the interrupt will fire and the driver will work as expected
