+* Temperature Sensor on hisilicon SoC
+
+Hisilicon SoC supplies temperature sensor feature, each CPU cluster and G3D
+area contains a temperture sensor. The temperture sensor produces an output
+value which has a linear relationship with the temperture of the area.
+
s/temperture/temperature/
+for Hi3660,
+sensor0 monitors the temperture of A53;
+sensor1 monitors the temperture of A72;
+sensor2 monitors the temperture of GPU;
+sensor3 is a virtual sensor, which produces the maximum value of all sensors;
+sensor4 is a virtual sensor, which produces the average value of all sensors.
I don't think we need to escribe the virtual sensors in the DT bindings.
+** Required properties :
+- compatible: "hisilicon,thermal-tsensor".
+- reg: physical reg address of thermal sensor and length of memory mapped
+  region.
+- hisi,tsensors: number of hardware tsensors
+- hisi,coef:	An array of integers (one signed cell) containing
+		coefficients to turn adc value to temperture.
+- hisi,adc-range: adc value range, minimum value is followed by maximum value.
+- #thermal-sensor-cells: Should be 1. See ./thermal.txt for a description.
+
+Example :
+Hi3660:
+tsensor: tsensor@fff30000 {
+	compatible = "hisilicon,hi3660-tsensor";
+	#address-cells = <2>;
+	#size-cells = <2>;
+	reg = <0x0 0xfff3001c 0x0 0x4>,
+		<0x0 0xfff3005c 0x0 0x4>,
+		<0x0 0xfff3009c 0x0 0x4>;
+	hisi,tsensors = <HISI_MAX_TSENSORS>;
+	hisi,coef = <165000 (-40000)>;
+	hisi,adc-range = <0x74 0x39A>;
Do we really need max sensors, coef and adc range to be specified in the DT?

Can't we assume the hi3660-tsensor has 3 sensors, and hard-code the
coef, adc, in the driver itself?

Can't this binding be merged with the hisilicon-thermal.txt?

Thanks.
