I'm not convinced that justifies constantly polling, if the system
designers cared you'd hope they'd have wired it up to a working
interrupt.  People commonly don't, realistically thermal warnings are
usually set near the point where the silicon will be physically damaged
and typically by the time they fire the system is already experiencing
catastrophic problems at a system level.

The polling is at the very least a separate change, and making the
interrupt work would be a much better option.
