Actually, there is a reason. Different boards can handle the critical
overheating differently, by letting the CRU or the PMIC handle it. This
was also the case for the RK3399.

Please, have a look at the following DT properties, which are consumed
by drivers/thermal/rockchip_thermal.c:
- "rockchip,hw-tshut-mode"
- "rockchip,hw-tshut-polarity"

See also page 1,372 of the RK3588 TRM v1.0.

This has also reminded me to check how is the Rock 5B actually wired,
just to make sure. We actually need to provide the two DT properties
listed above, at least to avoid emitting the warnings.

Well the defaults are already provided in rk3588s.dtsi, so there won't
be any warnings (see lines 2222-2223 in Linus' master version), and
according to the vendor kernel those are also what Rock 5B uses.

Yes, I noticed the same a couple of minutes after sending my last
message, but didn't want to make more noise about it. :) I would've
mentioned it in my next message, of course.

Just checked the Rock 5B schematic and it expects the CRU to be used
to perform the hardware reset in case of a thermal runaway, so the
defaults in the RK3588s dtsi are fine. I had to double-check it. :)

However, now I have some open questions related to interrupt-driven
operation. I'll research it further and come back with an update.

This made me think however: what if a board doesn't enable TSADC, but
has OPPs in place for higher voltage and frequency states? There won't
be any throttling (as there won't be any thermal monitoring) and there
might not be a critical shutdown at all if it heats up - possibly even
causing hardware damage. In this case it seems that having TSADC
enabled by default would at least trigger passive cooling, hopefully
avoiding the critical shutdown altogether and making those properties
irrelevant in 99% cases.

Those are very good questions. Thumbs up!

The trouble is that the boards can use different wiring to handle the
thermal runaways, by expecting the PMIC to handle it or not. Thus,
it's IMHO better to simply leave that to be tested and enabled on a
board-by-board basis, whenever a new RK3588(s)-based board is added.

Thus, the only right way at this point would be to merge the addition
of the OPPs and the enabling of the TSADC for all currently supported
RK3588(s)-based boards at once, instead of just for the Rock 5B.

I can handle the required changes for the QuartzPro64 dts file. For
other supported RK3588(s)-based boards, if there are no people having
access to them and willing to perform the dts changes and the testing,
I'd be willing to go through the board schematics, to enable the
TSADC for them as well.

Please, let me know are you fine with the above-described approach.
