The only thing that is board-level is the wiring of GPIO based resets, which I fully agree should go to board .dts for boards that support it, but that's not part of the current defaults and can be safely added later. TSADC is inside the SoC. CRU is inside the SoC. They work just fine for a thermal reset, even if no dedicated reset logic is wired on the board. I really don't see any downsides in having TSADC enabled by default with CRU based resets: - it's a safe default (i.e. I cannot think of any configuration or use case where enabled-by-default TSADC does any harm) - it's safer than accidentally forgetting to enable TSADC (as it adds thermal protection which is otherwise missing) - it will work on all boards (even if it doesn't utilize the full hardware functionality by ignoring GPIO resets that some boards also have in addition to the CRU) - and it requires fewer overrides in board .dts files Sounds like a no-regret move to me. > To be fair, that version of the Thermal developer guide dates back to > 2019, meaning that it technically applies to the RK3399, for example, > but the TSADC and reset circuitry design has basically remained the > same for the RK3588. > > > - My strong belief is that defaults (regardless of context) should be > > safe and reasonable, and should also minimize the need to override > > them > > Please note that the TSADC is disabled in the RK3399 SoC dtsi, so having > it disabled in the RK3588(s) SoC dtsi would provide some consistency. I'm happy to produce a patch to reverse the logic in RK3399 (and any others for that matter) to also have TSADC enabled by default there, thus saving several lines of code, if it's just about consistency. > Though, the RK3399 still does it in a safe way, by moving the OPPs into > a separate dtsi file, named rk3399-opp.dtsi, which the board dts files > then include together with enabling the TSADC. > > If you agree, let's employ the same approach for the RK3588(s), by > having > the its OPPs defined in a separate file, named rk3588s-opp.dtsi, etc. Separate file for OPPs is a good no-regret move to declutter the SoC level .dtsi (as the OPP table is long and boring) - happy to move it regardless of the outcome of the above TSADC discussion.

Not so obvious to me :-) I don't mean to be stubborn or uncooperative here, but I really can't find any technical merit in having it enabled at board level instead of SoC level. Switching to PMIC-assisted resets is one thing - it definitely should go to board files, as it depends on the specific wiring of the TSADC_SHUT signal. Enabling TSADC in a default configuration that can and will work on all boards regardless of their wiring is another thing. I'm just arguing for the latter. To me it seems similar to the watchdog timer situation: we enable it at the SoC level [1], as it is expected to work in its default configuration regardless of the board wiring, and it provides protection against system malfunctions. Doesn't matter if the board or its userspace code ends up using the full functionality - it just sits there waiting for its spotlight without hurting anybody.
