Commit 85b21fdec906e ("thermal/drivers/generic-adc: Register thermal
zones as hwmon sensors") made "generic-adc-thermal" also register hwmon
attributes. That means we now have the temperature sensor shown twice:
- once from iio-hwmon
- and another time from generic-adc-thermal
We need the latter for SoC temperature control, so simply drop the
former so userspace doesn't see duplicate sensors. Also
generic-adc-thermal provides a better name to userspace
("soc_thermal-virtual-0") than iio_hwmon.
[...]Thanks, Applied to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/amlogic/linux.git (v6.20/arm-dt) [1/1] ARM: dts: meson: drop iio-hwmon in favour of generic-adc-thermal https://git.kernel.org/amlogic/c/5ea75722eaec226c60472dc578a302aae1d1fa3e These changes has been applied on the intermediate git tree [1]. The v6.20/arm-dt branch will then be sent via a formal Pull Request to the Linux SoC maintainers for inclusion in their intermediate git branches in order to be sent to Linus during the next merge window, or sooner if it's a set of fixes. In the cases of fixes, those will be merged in the current release candidate kernel and as soon they appear on the Linux master branch they will be backported to the previous Stable and Long-Stable kernels [2]. The intermediate git branches are merged daily in the linux-next tree [3], people are encouraged testing these pre-release kernels and report issues on the relevant mailing-lists. If problems are discovered on those changes, please submit a signed-off-by revert patch followed by a corrective changeset.
