[PATCH] thermal: qcom: spmi-adc-tm5: Don't abort probing if a sensor is not used

[Matthias Kaehlcke]

adc_tm5_register_tzd() registers the thermal zone sensors for all
channels of the thermal monitor. If the registration of one channel
fails the function skips the processing of the remaining channels
and returns an error, which results in _probe() being aborted.

One of the reasons the registration could fail is that none of the
thermal zones is using the channel/sensor, which hardly is a critical
error (if it is an error at all). If this case is detected emit a
warning and continue with processing the remaining channels.

Should we also disable the 'charger-thermistor@0' node in
sc7180-trogdor.dtsi on lazor boards, instead of the thermal zone, or in
addition to the thermal zone? It isn't used so there's not much value in
exposing it.

I wouldn't do it instead of disabling the thermal zone, a TZ without a
sensor doesn't seem very useful.

IIUC the thermistor nodes would need to be deleted, not disabled.
Currently the nodes don't have labels, so either the labels would need
to be added, or the deletion would have to look something like this:

&pm6150_adc {
        /delete-node/ charger-thermistor@4f;
};

&pm6150_adc_tm {
        /delete-node/ charger-thermistor@0;
};

If the change is done for Lazor it should also be done for PomPom and
CoachZ.

I don't see a strong need to delete the ADC nodes with the clutter it
adds, but I'm open to it if you prefer :)

The driver will be present in system memory when it is never used. I was
mostly noticing that adc_tm5_get_dt_data() calls
of_get_available_child_count() and bails probe if there aren't any child
nodes. In this case, the only child node is charger-thermistor, so probe
for this driver would fail if the thermistor was removed. So at that
point, I wonder if we should disable the thermal zone node (already
done) and then also the adc node (sadly called adc-tm). This way we
don't eat up kernel memory to describe a device that isn't used and a
driver that wastes time probing and then fails to probe anyway.
