The bandgap provides current and voltage reference for its internal circuits and other analog IP blocks. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) produces an output value that is proportional to the silicon temperature. Currently reading temperatures and creating work to periodically read temperatures from the zones are supported. There are no active/passive cooling agent supported.

123000, + 123400, 123800, 124200, 124600, 124900, 125000, +};Can be this array replaced by an initialization array with a formula? Why do we have most of the time a step of 400 then suddenly 500 and 400 again? eg. 30600, 31000, 31400, 31900, 32500, 33000, 33400This has come from a polynomial equation which i do not want to calculate every time we read the temperature. Hence prefer Look up table.Agree, it makes sense to not calculate every time the temperature is read. I was suggesting to fill the array at init time with this polynomial formula instead of hardcoding it.
As in case of OMAP this is a standard polynomial equation that does not change so i would prefer not calculating in the driver and having the look up table from TRM.

I know there is no passive cooling agent like cpufreq at the moment but i do have a critical trip do you recommend to remove that?Actually I was referring to the workq which is initialized, the callback set but it is never called. It can be removed.
Okay got it.
Please take also the opportunity to wrap the calls to the register with an explicit helper function name.
IIUC the comment asks me to define a separate function that takes care of the body of the for loop.
And remove reg_cnt which is unused.
Sure Thanks, Keerthy
