I'll remove this sentence.

"fused out" was a wrong expression — sensors are not indicated in any register. Sorry for the confusion.
The hardware does not provide a bitmask of present sensors.
Therefore, the DT must explicitly list which indices belong to this TMU instance.

Additionally, I'll rephrase this sentence to clearly describe the TMU hardware only.

Older variants should be fixed to 0,
but my patch mistakenly opened it with an enum so that 1 was also allowed there, I'll fix this.
I'll also restrict the sensor indices property to v920 only.

I'll drop this.

Thanks.
