Greetings,
I'm finding that the IMX8MM TMU is not reporting valid data (valid is never true). I've added the tmu node into the device-tree. Is there any other reason you can think of for the IMX8MM tmu driver to not be working? I did notice the driver is quite a bit different than the Linux version.
Peng,
I see the IMX_TMU driver was added in 2cd7f47983: thermal: Add thermal driver for i.MX8M
The commit message says users need to provide the tmu node and sensors node in DTB - can you please provide an example? I've added the tmu node and thermal-zones from mainline Linux (see https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...) and the driver does not work.
I don't understand the concept of the 'zone_node' in this driver. It's a flag that is always unconditionally enabled when bound and it seems to me that half of the driver is dead code because of this. I find that when zone_node is enabled 'imx_tmu_enable_msite()' never gets called and thus monitoring never gets enabled and it is becuase of this the temperature is never valid.
If I add a call to imx_tmu_enable_msite() as such: @@ -442,6 +451,7 @@ static int imx_tmu_probe(struct udevice *dev) if (pdata->zone_node) { imx_tmu_init(dev); imx_tmu_calibration(dev); + imx_tmu_enable_msite(dev); } else { imx_tmu_enable_msite(dev); }
Now I get a valid temperature reading on my IMX8MM but get stuck in and endless cooling loop as such:
U-Boot 2020.10-00684-gfd17cf7-dirty (Oct 13 2020 - 16:17:25 -0700)

This would be because the device-tree was never parsed in imx_tmu_parse_fdt() because.... zone_mode is set which skips this.
Again, I don't understand what this zone_node is about but if I comment out the skipping of dt parsing I find that dev_read_phandle_wiht_args(dev, "thermal-sensors", "#thermal-sensor-cells", 0, 0, &args) returns -ENOENT meaning 'thermal-sensors' could not be found so perhaps there is still something wrong with my dts.
