Ok, I see. According to the commit description it looked to me more
like adc_oe has been dropped by accident, it doesn't sound like it
happened on purpose:
"Refactor MT7986 thermal temperature calculation formula to
prevent loss of floating-point accuracy."

Hence it made sense to be to keep the parameter and really only
use the updated formula to not loose precision. Maybe you can inquire
with the original author if dropping adc_oe was intentional, despite
being unmentioned in the commit message.

On my BPi-R3 board I found the value 512 burned into the efuse, so in
practise the resulting calculated temperature is exactly the same on
this board.

If other MT7986 or MT7981 boards will have arbitrary values stored in
adc_oe field in the efuse because this value isn't even used during
the manufacturer's calibration process, then of course, there is no
choice other than dropping it here as well.
