Well, Nokia had similar code in their kernel.

We are talking cellphone here. Yes, sensor may be inacurate (but it
seems to work pretty well; perhaps TI can point us to some docs that
explains the details?), but it provides useful information (mostly
room temperature). I don't think we'll ever run anywhere close to
thermal limits where inacuracy would matter. (Battery can't really
take > 60C. AFAICT CPU limit is 120C. Battery is close to the CPU.)

Something like this?

          If you say yes here you get thermal support for the Texas Instruments
	  OMAP3 SoC family. The current chip supported are:
	              - OMAP3430

          OMAP3 chips normally don't need thermal management, and sensors in
	  this generation are not very accurate, nor they are very close to
          the important hotspots.

          Say 'N' here.

Ok; I'll keep temp_sensors_ctrl / bgap_mode_ctrl, because it is actually used.

Ok.

Ok, what about?

    if (TI_BANDGAP_HAS(bgp, UNRELIABLE))
              dev_warn(&pdev->dev,
                         "OMAP3 thermal sensor is unreliable and normally unneccessary\n");

Will not fit in 80 columns, but keeping message on one line is more important.
