I see no point in "This property either points to > exactly one sensor or multiple other thermal zones (from which we only > use the temperature)" Agreed here. In fact, if we are going to allow thermal zones to be treated as sensors, it means there should be no limits on what you put of there, as long as all items have #thermal-sensor-cells. So, mixing one (or more) regular sensors, with other thermal zones shall be allowed, if we agree in this semantics. > > Sascha > > > -- > Pengutronix e.K. | | > Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ | > Peiner Str. 6-8, 31137 Hildesheim, Germany | Phone: +49-5121-206917-0 | > Amtsgericht Hildesheim, HRA 2686 | Fax: +49-5121-206917-5555 | -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
