Interestingly the rk3066 one is "just" another saradc IP, so for this one it would really make sense. > > On the driver side, I believe the correct way to deal with this setup > > is to split your driver into a generic drivers/iio/adc/rockchips-tsadc.c > > file, and a smaller thermal driver that uses the iio in-kernel interfaces, > > ideally one that is independent of the underlying hardware and can > > work on any ADC implementation. > > Agreed.

But I currently don't see how you would model the temperature handling parts from a generic thermal driver to a generic adc driver for the rk3288-tsadc. I guess the general temperature irq handling would use iio-triggers? But how does the target temperature get into the TSADC_COMP1_INT register. Also when getting the temperature, Caesar's driver compares it to its trip points and sets the next trip point depending on the current temperature (passive <-> critical) in rockchip_get_temp. Maybe there is some completely easy way for this, but currently I don't see it.
