Yeah, it is a bit unfortunate that the 3-4 SoCs we're focusing on
getting supported upstream have different versions of the TSENS IP.
The other goal of this work was to make the upstream driver
feature-complete so we can make a case to switch to it in the
downstream trees, even on platforms that aren't being active
upstreamed. They'll still need to keep around those SoC-specific
one-liner patches in the downstream trees.

I'm not an expert on all QC IPs, but this one _seems_ to be reused a
lot more than others.

There is in fact a HW version register that I was hoping to add
support for later.

OK.

I did look at the Renesas RCar bindings when restructuring the
documentation. They seem to have settled upon a 3-level fallback:
"soc-specific", "generic-no TZ", "generic-TZ". But
drivers/thermal/rcar_thermal.c seems to be compatible with only one
soc-specific property (thermal-r8a77995) and all other SoCs seem to be
just relying the fallbacks.

Anyways, I'll respin.

Thanks.
