Hi Morimoto-san,

Sound good. Will update in v2.

I failed to see the benefit of the change.
Could you elaborate the points ?
e.g better memory protection, faster byte-code execution, readability, etc

OK. I see your point. Will update in V2.

Unfortunately, it's not.
The code tries to check "polling-delay" in order to select polling mode and get polling duration from DT.
So, your proposal just do 1st part.

It's the abbreviation of Thermal sensor controller.
The term has been described in HW manual. Therefore, I think it's 'reasonable' name.

Good point. Will fix in v2.

It's good point.
I saw that other thermal drivers also did that way.

The original source code follows same code flow as rcar-thermal driver.
Perhaps, we can change the code flow for both drivers, as your idea.

OK. Will fix in v2.

OK. Newline does not harm anything.
Will add in v2.

Thanks.
