[PATCH v2 0/2] thermal: imx: Add calibration offset support

From: HaoNing Cheng via B4 Relay

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 04:10:50 EST


Some i.MX boards need a small per-design correction to align the
reported CPU temperature with board-level measurements. This series
adds an optional DT property to specify such a calibration offset
and implements the corresponding support in the imx_thermal driver.

Patch 1 documents the new fsl,temp-calibration-offset-millicelsius
property in the i.MX thermal DT binding.

Patch 2 reads this property in the imx_thermal driver and applies
the offset to the i.MX6/6SX/7D calibration formulas. When the
property is absent, the default offset remains 0, preserving the
current behaviour.

Changes in v2:
- dt-bindings: Removed explicit `$ref: /schemas/types.yaml#/definitions/int32`
for fsl,temp-calibration-offset-millicelsius; the `-millicelsius` suffix
already resolves to int32-array via property-units.yaml (Rob).
- dt-bindings: Fixed example indentation.
- driver: Replaced C integer division (/) with DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() in
imx_set_alarm_temp() to prevent off-by-one alarm threshold mismatch that
could cause IRQ storms on i.MX7D.
- driver: Added clamp() bounds check for alarm_value [0, 0x1ff] to avoid
corrupting adjacent register fields (PANIC_ALARM).
