This is a supplement to the MTK Thermal series which was lacking the
description for the AUXADC.
So it will be applied with that I presume.

Well the basic problem that I see is, that the auxadc has some more
registers (at least in mt6589) for the touch screen registers.
So this makes it a candidate for syscon and regmap.
But this needs a patch in the thermal driver first...
When we want to have a driver for the auxadc we are free to write one.
No need to use syscon and/or regmap for it.

Note that the auxadc is not used by the thermal *driver*, it's used by
the thermal *hardware*. It's the hardware that directly reads/writes
auxadc registers. If MTK did it right then a real auxadc driver should
not be disturbed by the thermal controller accesses. At least from
checking the datasheet the registers the thermal controller accesses
are completely orthogonal to the ones a auxadc driver would use.
