Hi, Shin Son,

Just trivial notes on registers description for now.

Register fields shall be named
SOC_REG_NAME_FIELD_NAME

If you include <linux/bits.h> you can substitute the above 2 definitions
with just one:
EXYNOSAUTOV920_TRIMINFO_SLOPE_COMP	GENMASK(28, 25)

and later on in the code, instead of doing the shift and the mask, you
can include <linux/bitfield.h> and do:

data->slope_comp = FIELD_GET(EXYNOSAUTOV920_TRIMINFO_SLOPE_COMP, val);

btw, above matches the GS101 definitions.

is this BIT(31)?
EXYNOSAUTOV920_TRIMINFO2_CALIB_SEL_TEMP		BIT(31)

GS101 differs, it has this field defined at:
GS101_TRIMINFO_CALIB_SEL_TEMP			BIT(0)
where TRIMINFO is at Base Address + 0x0, not at Base Address + 0x4 as in
your case.

GS101 does not have any SENSOR0 in the reg name, so maybe rename it to:
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TRIMINFO0		0x10

#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TRIMINFO_85_P0		GENMASK(17, 9)
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TRIMINFO_25_P0		GENMASK(8, 0)

> + +#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TMU_REG_TRIMINFO2	0x04

Is this a TRIMINFO_CONFIG2 register? I don't have such thing on GS101.

> + +#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TMU_REG_THRESHOLD(p)	(((p)) * 0x50 + 
> 0x00d0)

#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_THRESHOLD_TEMP_RISE7_6(p)	(((p)) * 0x50 + 0xd0)
and then:
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_THRESHOLD_TEMP_RISE7_6_RISE7 	GENMASK(24, 16)
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_THRESHOLD_TEMP_RISE7_6_RISE6 	GENMASK(8, 0)
you'll stop passing the shift and mask as function arguments :)


> +#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TMU_REG_INTEN(p)		(((p)) * 0x50 + 0x00f0)

#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_INTEN(p)				(((p)) * 0x50 + 0xf0)

I see you use just BIT(7) from this register. Let's define it and stop passing
the bit offset as function argument:

#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_INTEN_RISE7			BIT(7)

> +#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TMU_REG_INT_PEND(p)	(((p)) * 0x50 + 0x00f8)

#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_PEND(p)				(((p)) * 0x50 + 0xf8)

Are you using GENMASK(15, 0) for this register?

On GS101 GENMASK(15, 9) is reserved. Here's how the bits are defined for GS101:

#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_PEND_FALL(i)			BIT(16 + (i))
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_PEND_RISE_MASK			GENMASK(23, 16)
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_PEND_RISE(i)			BIT(i)
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_PEND_RISE_MASK			GENMASK(8, 0)

Would you please verify and let me know if EXYNOSAUTOV920 differs or not?

> +#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_CURRENT_TEMP_P1_P0	0x084

no leading 0
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_CURRENT_TEMP_P1_P0		0x84
then define the fields:
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_CURRENT_TEMP_P1			GENMASK(24, 16)
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_CURRENT_TEMP_P0			GENMASK(8, 0)


> +#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TMU_REG_EMUL_CON		0x0b0

no TMU_REG in the name, no leading 0, define the fields as GENMASK
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_EMUL_CON				0xb0
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_EMUL_CON_EMUL_NEXT_TIME		GENMASK(31, 16)
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_EMUL_CON_EMUL_NEXT_DATA		GENMASK(15, 7)
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_EMUL_CON_EMUL_EN			BIT(0)

no reg in the name, control0
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_TMU_CONTROL0			0x50

define fields as GENMASK and BIT

ditto

ditto

no TMU in the name, respect the registers name from the datasheet please.
define the full genmask
#define EXYNOSAUTOV920_SAMPLING_INTERVAL_MASK		GENMASK(31, 0)

you won't need these if you define the register fields, isn't it?> +

no leading zeros. You better construct the fields dynamically, by using bitfields,
no full register magic number, humans don't understand this.

same for both

would it make sense to have the tzd_array to fit just the sensor count that
we're using so that we don't waste memory? i.e. allocate tzd_array dynamically.

Looking at the exynosautov9 registers that you described and comparing them with
gs101 I see just 2 differences:
1/ exnosautov2 has a TRIMINFO_CONFIG2 register, while gs101 doesn't
2/ EXYNOSAUTOV920_PEND register fields differ from GS101

Given the similarities, and considering the EXYNOS9_ registers rename from:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-samsung-soc/20251117074140.4090939-5-youngmin.nam@samsung.com/
would it make sense to use the SoC-era name instead of specific SoC, i.e.
s/EXYNOSAUTOV920_/EXYNOS9_ and use the latter for both exynosautov9 and gs101?

Cheers,
ta
