Yes, I noticed the same a couple of minutes after sending my last
message, but didn't want to make more noise about it. :)  I would've
mentioned it in my next message, of course.

Those are very good questions.  Thumbs up!

The trouble is that the boards can use different wiring to handle the
thermal runaways, by expecting the PMIC to handle it or not.  Thus,
it's IMHO better to simply leave that to be tested and enabled on a
board-by-board basis, whenever a new RK3588(s)-based board is added.

Thus, the only right way at this point would be to merge the addition
of the OPPs and the enabling of the TSADC for all currently supported
RK3588(s)-based boards at once, instead of just for the Rock 5B.

I can handle the required changes for the QuartzPro64 dts file.  For
other supported RK3588(s)-based boards, if there are no people having
access to them and willing to perform the dts changes and the testing,
I'd be willing to go through the board schematics, to enable the
TSADC for them as well.
