as far I as remember there's a story behind this (and it would be nice
to have it documented here):
some of the SCPI firmware revisions don't enable the SAR ADC clock
when reading the SoCs temperature.
if the SAR ADC is disabled in Linux then the common clock framework
will disable the SAR ADC clock.
now, when the SCPI firmware uses the SAR ADC to read the SoC
temperature we only get garbage.

enabling the SAR ADC in Linux "fixes" this issue
