Hi Juerg, thanks for the report!

So ESR's IDS (bit 24) is set, which means it's an 'Implementation Defined
SError,' hence IIUC the rest of the error code is meaningless to anyone outside
of Broadcom/RPi.

The regmap is created through the following syscon device:

avs_monitor: avs-monitor@7d5d2000 {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2711-avs-monitor",
"syscon", "simple-mfd";
reg = <0x7d5d2000 0xf00>;

thermal: thermal {
compatible = "brcm,bcm2711-thermal";
#thermal-sensor-cells = <0>;
};
};

I've done some tests with devmem, and the whole <0x7d5d2000 0xf00> range is
full of addresses that trigger this same error. Also note that as per Florian's
comments[1]: "AVS_RO_REGISTERS_0: 0x7d5d2200 - 0x7d5d22e3." But from what I can
tell, at least 0x7d5d22b0 seems to be faulty too.

Any ideas/comments? My guess is that those addresses are marked somehow as
secure, and only for VC4 to access (VC4 is RPi4's co-processor). Ultimately,
the solution is to narrow the register range exposed by avs-monitor to whatever
bcm2711-thermal needs (which is ATM a single 32bit register).

Regards,
Nicolas
