I don't think so. OCOTP reads fuse values into shadows registers on
chip reset and values seem to be available even if it's specific OCOTP
clock is off. I think that clock is only required for writes or shadow
updates.

In theory perhaps tempmon could be made to read ocotp through the imx-
ocotp nvmem driver? It is not clear in what scenario this would
actually be required.

This discussion is not specific to 6ul/6ull. There are other reads from
ocotp which don't enable it's clock, for example
imx6q_opp_check_speed_grading.
