We observed a random null pointer deference crash somewhere in the
thermal core (crash log below is not very helpful) when calling
mutex_lock(). It looks like we get an interrupt when this crash
happens.

Looking at the lm90 driver, per the above, I now see we are calling
hwmon_notify_event() from the lm90 interrupt handler. Looking at
hwmon_notify_event() I see that ...

hwmon_notify_event()
   --> hwmon_thermal_notify()
     --> thermal_zone_device_update()
       --> update_temperature()
         --> mutex_lock()

So although I don't completely understand the crash, it does seem
that we should not be calling hwmon_notify_event() from the
interrupt handler.

BTW I have not reproduced this myself yet, so I have just been
reviewing the code to try and understand this.
