To me the TM hardware block seems to just duplicate some parts of the
ADC block. Without understanding why the two would need to be configured
in sync, I don't think we should tie them together further.

In particular, I get the same readings with or without configuring the
ADC channels, does this perhaps imply that the TM configuration is used
to configure the ADC during it's reads (i.e. we don't need to define the
ADC channels after all), or is this just a coincidence?

There are other things in the PMIC, using the ADC seemingly without you
having to explicitly configure the ADC and there's definitely things
pointing to the ADC being "timeshared" between various users.
