Ehm yes but!. After init it is set to 0, correct. The value was never read from the HW. It was always set via am335x_tsc_se_set() to "cache | argument" and written to HW from both sides (TSC, ADC). This initialization is done at ->probe() time in both drivers.
The value remains (remained) constant over the whole time so both drivers only called am335x_tsc_se_update() to set the value (the enabled steps of both sides) back to the register (because after the conversation the value was 0 according to my memory) and since 32bit reads are atomic I didn't use a lock here.
