I thought about it for a bit and finally realized that Exynos7 only
supports one point trimming. That is why in that commit, the original
exynos7_tmu_initialize did not do anything with temp_error2. So
temp_error2 will never be used in Exynos7. The real "fix" I guess is to
only calculate temp_error2 if two point trimming is used, which is
possible with a very small reordering of exynos7_tmu_initialize. But
then the shift value will never be reachable in Exynos7 anyway. What do
you think about this? I feel like it's worth it to change the shift
value just because the code is a bit confusing anyway.
