This patch adds support for the sun8iw3 thermal sensor on Allwinner A23/33 SoCs. Signed-off-by: Icenowy Zheng [off-list ref]The IP is awfully similar to the A31's, which already has a driver (drivers/input/touchscreen/sun4i-ts.c). There's no reason to add a new one here. Thanks, Maxime -- Maxime Ripard, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
The reason for a dedicate driver is: 1. This IP have only thermal function, so it's not suitable to use a driver at drivers/input/touchscreen/. 2. Control Register are quite different. 3. This IP uses AUDIO PLL (PLL2) as its clock! _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
