+description: |
+  The TI K3 family of SoCs typically have a Voltage & Thermal
+  Management (VTM) device to control up to 8 temperature diode
+  sensors to measure silicon junction temperatures from different
+  hotspots of the chip as well as provide temperature, interrupt
+  and alerting information.
+
+  The VTM device will periodically enable these temperature sensors
+  to make a temperature measurement and store the reported data
+  allowing the sensors to stay in a reset state when not in use
+  to maximize the sensor's life.
+
+  This VTM driver will then use the following polynomial equation to
+  calculate the temperature from the value stored in the VTM device.
+
+  Temp = (-9.2627e-12) * x^4 + (6.0373e-08) * x^3 + \
+         (-1.7058e-04) * x^2 + (3.2512e-01) * x   + (-4.9003e+01)
