Argh!! Good catch.

That'll cause problems when we want to access some features exposed in
the other register bank through the common get_temp_tsens_v2 function.
The SW reset bit is in there that I'd like to add support for, for
example.

I can see a few other ways to detect this at runtime. None of them
look pretty but option 3 looks least ugly at least to me. Any
preferences?

1. Don't try to combine get_temp for 8996 with other v2 platforms.
This would mean retaining a separate ops_8996, pointing to a custom
get_temp(). We end up with two copies of the function.

2. In get_temp_tsens_v2(), check for number of regions but this has an
overhead for each temperature read.

     struct platform_device *op = of_find_device_by_node(tmdev->dev->of_node);
     if (op->num_resources > 1)
        status_offset = 0xa0;
     else
        status_offset = 0x10a0;
     Read temperature(status_offset);

3. Restrict to init time (ideal) by storing the status_offset to
struct tsens_device. This is then used directly in
get_temp_generic_v2() to determine the actual address. This should
work for 8996, 8916 and 8974 which all have a single memory region
iomapp'ed. The last two don't even need this value since they have
their own get_temp functions. See diff attached.

I have to ask: Are there really devices in the field that rely on the
existing *upstream* code and DT? If not, could we consider deprecating
the "qcom,msm8996-tsens" property immediately or at least mark it for
future removal?

Amit
