The System Control Processor (SCP) provides access to SoC sensors via
the System Control and Power Interface (SCPI) Message Protocol. Add
bindings to allow probing of these sensors. Also support referencing
of the sensors for setting up thermal zones via the thermal DT
bindings.

You need to specify what the valid values for this cell are.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for taking a look.

The enumeration depends on the number of sensors exported by SCP
firmware - which is platform dependent. I could add add something like
if you think that is helpful -

"Valid cell value is a number between 0..n-1, where n is the number
of sensors exported by SCP firmware."

Thanks,

Punit

Can the FW identifer space have holes? Or are they always contiguous?

If this is the same as the raw FW identifer value, specify that.
Otherwise, you need to specify the mapping.

There needs to be enough information for a dts author to figure out
which values to place in the DT.

Thanks,
Mark.

The way the SCP interface is defined, the sensor identifiers are
contiguous, but not all are temperature sensors.

I'll update the patch to add mappings for Juno r0 (and r1 if I can get
my hands on one).

I understand. Except sometimes it is hard to get the firmware to commit to not
modify the ordering - discoverability and all that. :)

Ok. So how exactly are they enumerated for this binding?

If there's identical logic mapping the two, we might just be able to
describe that rather than having to add tables all the time.

If they do that, then things are broken regardless, no? I guess that'll
be clear if/when I see how the mapping works.

Thanks,
Mark.

The sensor enumeration for r0 (which I've verified) and r1 can be found
at [0]. The valid cell values are identifiers for the temperature sensors.

After seeing the mapping already published, I am wondering if there is
any value in duplicating the information. If there are no objections,
I'll update this patch to add pointers instead.

Ok. That's fine by me; I was confused and thought that there was some
internal mapping.

That's fine by me. The important part is that the value is a raw Sensor
ID as the FW uses. So long as we state that, the IDs themselves can come
from whatever documentation is valid for a particular instance.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks,
Mark.

Sure. I've updated the patch to explain what the valid cell values are
along with a pointer to platform documentation for Juno R0 and R1.

I've also added an example to show usage of the sensors to create a
thermal zone.

I'll post a new version shortly.

Thanks for your having a look.
