On imx7d (also 6sx and 6ul) OCOTP read will hang silently if the ocotp
clk is not enabled. For example this can happen if imx_thermal is built
as a module or probes after unused clocks are disabled.

This driver has support for reading ocotp values through the ocotp
nvmem driver (which handles clks properly). Since imx7d is a new
compatible string for upstream maybe you could just make new-style
bindings mandatory and drop the changes to imx_init_from_tempmon_data?

See commit 2067b757e972 ("ARM: dts: imx6ul: Add imx6ul-tempmon")
