[PATCH 1/2] thermal/drivers/mediatek/auxadc: Register per-sensor thermal zones
From: Nils Büchner
Date: Mon Oct 05 2026 - 22:54:34 EST
The driver registers only thermal zone 0, which reports the hottest of
all sensors. The MT8183 devicetree also describes a zone per sensor
(soc, gpu, md1, cpu-little, cpu-big, abb as sensor ids 1-6), and
mtk-svs looks up the "gpu-thermal" zone for its GPU banks. Without it
SVS fails to probe on MT8183:
SVSB_GPU: cannot get "gpu-thermal" thermal zone
mtk-svs 1100bc00.svs: error -ENODEV: svs bank resource setup fail
so the SoC never gets its calibrated, lower voltages.
Additionally register every sensor that has a devicetree zone, using
sensor id = sensor number + 1, read from that sensor's own measurement
register. Sensors without a zone are skipped, so SoCs whose devicetrees
only describe zone 0 are unaffected.
Runtime-tested on an Acer Chromebook Spin 311 (MT8183, juniper) with a
7.0-based kernel (the hardware is not set up to boot mainline);
build-tested on mainline with W=1. On the device: all six
sensor zones register and read plausible values (31-34 C idle, close
to the board sensors), and mtk-svs finds gpu-thermal.
The change and this changelog were drafted with an AI coding assistant
during a debugging session on the hardware; they were reviewed and
tested by the submitter.
