Hi Guillaume,

thank you for working on this!

so G12B is not supported (yet)?

have you considered using the thermal framework [0] instead of the iio
framework (see below)?

the driver has some "u_efuse_off" access. do we need to get some
calibration values from the AO syscon or can we also fetch it from the
eFuse? you can look at arch/arm/boot/dts/meson8.dtsi where I'm passing
the temperature sensor calibration data to the SAR ADC (there's no
dedicated temperature sensor IP block prior to G12A) while reading the
data from the eFuse

as far as I can tell the thermal framework supports multiple trip
points. I'm seeing this as a benefit because the hardware can raise
interrupts at four different temperatures (defined by the driver)

as far as I know the dt-bindings should not have a status property in
the examples
