That path no longer exists since patch 01/10.

I'd like to do this differently to reduce the number of Kconfig symbols.
The alternate proposal would be for the TEGRA_SOCTHERM symbol to remain
as it is and then build in driver support depending on the selected
ARCH_TEGRA_*_SOC options.

So this would look roughly like:

	obj-$(CONFIG_TEGRA_SOCTHERM) += tegra-soctherm.o

	tegra-soctherm-y := soctherm.c
	tegra-soctherm-$(CONFIG_ARCH_TEGRA_124_SOC) += tegra124.o
	tegra-soctherm-$(CONFIG_ARCH_TEGRA_210_SOC) += tegra210.o

Two things to note here: I've replaced the underscore in the filename
with a dash, because that's more commonly used in filenames for other
drivers on Tegra. This could be done in patch 01/10 since the file is
already moved anyway. The second thing to note here is that the SoC-
generation specific drivers don't contain the redundant _soctherm
suffix. I suppose that if this directory will ever contain anything
other than soctherm drivers it might be useful to have the suffix to
differentiate between different drivers, so feel free to ignore that
suggestion if you have plans to add other thermal-related drivers to
this directory.

The advantage of the above is that we'll have a single Kconfig option
to worry about and also everything will be included in a single driver
rather than per-SoC "drivers" that merely provide the SoC-specific
data. This will require some slight changes to the driver code, see
below.

I think it'd be good not to rely on this sentinel entry being there.
It's more error-prone than simply storing the number of entries in a
separate location. See below.

The general idea would be to keep the of_device_id table in the
tegra_soctherm.c file and have it include entries depending on which SoC
generation is being supported. See for example the memory controller
driver in drivers/memory/tegra for a reference that uses this style of
multi-SoC support.

With the alternate proposal you can get rid of all of this, which has a
number of other advantages like not having to export all of the library
functions that these subdrivers rely on.

What you'd do instead is add a new structure, along the lines of this:

	struct tegra_soctherm_soc {
		const struct tegra_tsensor_groups *groups;
		unsigned int num_groups;
		const struct tegra_tsensor *sensors;
		unsigned int num_sensors;
		const struct tegra_soctherm_fuse *fuse;
	};

and create one of these with the SoC-specific groups, sensors and FUSE
parameters. Then you pass these structures to the generic driver as the
struct of_device_id's .data field:

	static const struct of_device_id tegra_soctherm_of_match[] = {
		{ .compatible = "nvidia,tegra124-soctherm", .data = &tegra124_soctherm },
		{ .compatible = "nvidia,tegra210-soctherm", .data = &tegra210_soctherm },
		{ }
	};

Also, please use your name and email address if you're the author.
Companies don't write code, people do.

Both the tegra_soctherm_probe() and tegra_soctherm_remove() functions
would need to be exported with this type of driver design, otherwise
building everything as modules the per-SoC drivers couldn't access the
functions.

If you create a single driver there is no need to export any of the
symbols because they are never required by another module.
