Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your review.

Add support for the Amlogic A9 thermal controller.

The A9 thermal controller uses different calibration parameters, requires
separate core and bus clocks, and supports a hardware over-temperature
reset mechanism.

Add the A9 calibration data, retrieve the clocks by name, and configure
the hardware reset temperature through the optional 'amlogic,hw-reset-temp'
DT property. When the property is absent, use the default reset temperature
of 110°C.

Also restore the hardware reset configuration after resume.

Old SoC without the 'amlogic,hw-reset-temp' will now default to
TSENSOR_HW_RESET_DEFAULT_TEMP


This restart temperature setting is available on all chips, but it was not supported before. Here, a default value has been added.

Shouldn't the clock enabled before accessing the register in

Will do.
