Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 3 potential issue(=
s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The driver allows registering any sensor ID from 0 to 3 but uncond=
itionally configures hardware registers for sensor 0.
- [High] The device's hardware interrupt is left enabled when probe fails o=
r the driver is unbound.
- [High] Potential NULL pointer dereference if `device_get_match_data()` re=
turns NULL.

thermal/drivers/loongson2: Correct thermal sensor registration loop

This commit fixes the registration loop in loongson2_thermal_probe() by
correctly handling -ENODEV and only aborting on fatal errors. It also
ensures at least one thermal zone is registered before proceeding.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but if device_get_match_data() returns NULL
(for example, via manual sysfs binding), can this cause a NULL pointer
dereference earlier in this function?

drivers/thermal/loongson2_thermal.c:loongson2_thermal_probe() {
	...
	data->chip_data =3D device_get_match_data(dev);
	...
	if (data->chip_data->flags & LS2K2000_THSENS_OUT_FLAG) {
	...
}

[Severity: High]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but does this leave the hardware
interrupt enabled if probe fails later or the driver is unbound?

During devm_thermal_of_zone_register(), the thermal core registers the zone
and invokes tz->ops->set_trips(). This calls
loongson2_thermal_set(..., enable=3Dtrue), which enables the hardware inter=
rupt.

However, there appears to be no corresponding remove function in
loongson2_thermal_driver, nor a devm_add_action_or_reset() callback to
disable the interrupt if devm_request_threaded_irq() fails or the driver is
unbound.

[Severity: High]
This is also a pre-existing issue, but if the device tree specifies a therm=
al
zone for a sensor ID other than 0, will the hardware configuration match the
intended sensor?

The probe loop registers the zone for sensor index i and breaks, but
loongson2_set_ctrl_regs() uses a statically defined thermal_sensor_sel:

drivers/thermal/loongson2_thermal.c:loongson2_set_ctrl_regs() {
	int reg_off =3D data->chip_data->thermal_sensor_sel * 2;
	...
}

It seems this calculates the register offset ignoring the actually register=
ed
sensor ID, potentially resulting in reading from and writing limits to the
hardware registers of sensor 0 instead.
