1 General Purpose Analog To Digital Converter (ADC) based thermal sensor.
2
3 On some of platforms, thermal sensor like thermistors are connected to
4 one of ADC channel and sensor resistance is read via voltage across the
5 sensor resistor. The voltage read across the sensor is mapped to
6 temperature using voltage-temperature lookup table.
7
8 Required properties:
9 ===================
10 - compatible:                Must be "generic-adc-thermal".
11 - #thermal-sensor-cells:     Should be 1. See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/thermal-sensor.yaml for a description
12                              of this property.
13 Optional properties:
14 ===================
15 - temperature-lookup-table:  Two dimensional array of Integer; lookup table
16                              to map the relation between ADC value and
17                              temperature. When ADC is read, the value is
18                              looked up on the table to get the equivalent
19                              temperature.
20
21                              The first value of the each row of array is the
22                              temperature in milliCelsius and second value of
23                              the each row of array is the ADC read value.
24
25                              If not specified, driver assumes the ADC channel
26                              gives milliCelsius directly.
