    They have _FILTER_ in their name, isn't it enough?

    Just a matter of taste for me.

    Why not make it work right away the way we want :)?

    As discussed on IRC (a long time ago :) ), it's a combination of two
    problems:
    1) get_temp (used by thermal framework) uses pm_runtime function that
    isn't ready yet <= I will send a patch for registering thermal framework
    after pm_runtime to you, hopefully in the upcoming hour or tomorrow,

    2) The A33 (and H3 in your implementation) does not wait for an
    interrupt to read the TEMP_DATA register which resets to 0 when the
    sensor is disabled (or until a first sample arrives) i.e. when probing
    or when resuming. Using IRQs would get rid of 2). It isn't critical for
    A33 as the formula for temp returns something really cold so thermal
    does not care. But for the H3, it's critically hot and shuts down your
    board. To make it work on the H3, we would have to use a delay in the
    pm_resume function equal to the sensor sampling rate and I don't really
    like that. If we could use IRQs, it'd be better IMHO (but they aren't
    working on A33).

    Thanks,
    Quentin
