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 fromRight, didn't realize this.quoted
checking the datasheet the registers the thermal controller accesses are completely orthogonal to the ones a auxadc driver would use.As you already explained, syscon/regmap is not needed here. Just for completion: we already had completely orthogonal registers for the reset controller, and we decided to use regmap there as well. We should stay consistent on this.
Matthias, is this some kind of action topic for me? We can use regmap for the AUXADC driver if we want to, I have no problem with that.
