Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <redacted> --- 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. Acked-by: Rob Herring <redacted>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.
