[PATCH v4 0/7] add support for H616 thermal system

Hi,

this is v4 of the series originally by Martin, complemented by patches
to fix the problem with way-too-high temperatures reported on
some boards, and some refactoring and simplifications, compared to the
original drop.

For the SYS_CFG bit poke code I now avoided the term "syscon" at all,
instead using "sram" instead, which seems to be less controversial. Apart
from that the register poke part hasn't changed much, but I hope it's more
acceptable now that it doesn't claim to be using a syscon device.

Many thanks to Maksim's investigation into the code, which revealed that
the calibrate functions between the H6 and H616 are actually the same,
just with support for more sensors. So his new patch 4/7 refactors the
existing function, to make it compatible to the H616, which makes the
actual support patch 6/7 very simple.

See the Changelog below for more details.

==================

This series introduces support for the thermal sensors in the Allwinner
H616 SoCs, which includes its siblings H618 and T507. The actual
temperature reading turns out to be very similar to the H6 SoC, just
with support for two more sensors. One nasty complication is caused
by reports about temperatures above 200C, which are related to the
firmware being run (because the vendor U-Boot contains a hack avoiding
this problem). Some investigation and digging in BSP code later
we identified that bit 16 in register 0x3000000 (SYS_CFG) needs to be
cleared for the raw temperature register values to contain reasonable
values.
To achieve this, patch 1/7 exports this very register from the already
existing SRAM/syscon device. Patch 5/7 then adds code to the thermal
driver to find that device via a new DT property, and query its regmap
to clear bit 16 in there.

I am open to suggestions on how to solve this in a better way, but the
current solution works, and uses an existing driver and an existing
scheme (in the EMAC driver).

The rest of the patches are fairly straight-forward and build on
Martin's original work, with some simplifications, resulting in more
code sharing.

Please have a look!

Cheers,
Andre
