please check if the thermal subsystem is built in, while hwmon
subsystem
is built as module.
you should either set CONFIG_HWMON=y, or set both CONFIG_HWMON
and
CONFIG_THERMAL as module.
Thanks. but it seems our system has it.

I noticed that thermal_zone case uses of_parse_thermal_zones()
and it has this.

		/* No hwmon because there might be hwmon drivers
registering */
		tzp->no_hwmon = true;

and on thermal_zone_device_register() check this for hwmon

struct thermal_zone_device *thermal_zone_device_register(xxxx)
{
	...
	if (!tz->tzp || !tz->tzp->no_hwmon) {
		result = thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs(tz);
		...
	}
	...
}

Does this mean "thermal_zone doesn't use lm-senser" ?
I'd prefer to say of_thermal registered thermal_zone doesn't use lm-
sensor.
If you're really want to see hwmon interface, I think you should use
thermal API (thermal_zone_device_register) directly.

thanks,
