Thanks for the review effort, Eduardo.

The temperature calibration values are fused individually for each part
in the product testing process.  It consists of a pair of hardware
monitor values at 25 C and a high temperature which is specified by
calibration data itself, which will be used by software to translate
hardware counter values to Celsius. The detailed description can be
found in hardware reference manual.

Because there is no dedicated IO space for the block.  Instead, the
registers spread in system controllers which contain miscellaneous
control and data registers.  So we chose to access the registers via
syscon regmap interface, and we need phandle pointer to the correct
syscon device node.

Yes.  But from what I've seen, most maintainers are not so concerned by
this particular checkpatch warning.  If you are really concerned by it,
I can surely manage to write up something longer.

I'm not a big fan of doing that, because we will need to patch the
contact from time to time to keep it update to date.  I've run into the
situation a lot where the contract left in the file became invalid and
git log helps give the recent/updated contact.

I have to admit I'm not sure how to determine the optimal intervals
here.  I initially have both intervals be 1000 ms, but I'm not sure if
it's necessary.  I need some help on that.  The frequency table on the
target consists of 396, 792, 996 and 1200 in MHz.

At least none I'm ware of.  I will update the comment and simply use
usleep_range in the next post to prove that I'm not hiding other
issues :)

Yes, it is.  But I personally would like to separate error return from
successful one, because I feel it's more readable.

Yes, MMIO.  But it's embedded in some kind of system controller block,
call anatop on imx6q, which contains miscellaneous registers for various
function blocks.  We do not want to have various device drivers iomap
the same space multiple times.  syscon API which uses regmap was created
exactly for such cases, so we use it here.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea.  Will simply give it a wait.

I thought that the thermal driver has to be probed before cpufreq
driver.  I just give it a trial run and found that imx_thermal_probe()
can return success even when cpufreq driver is not probed yet.  So
making imx_thermal_init a late_initcall seems unnecessary.  Therefore,
yes, we can use module_platform_driver() here.
