I know, but this isn't my point.

My point is that at this time of the driver development, we don't know
what is going to be needed to support all of those SoCs.

Some of the parameters you added might not be needed, some parameters
might be missing, we don't know. So let's keep it simple for now.

That's kind of irrelevant. There's nothing preventing get_temp to be
called right away.

I'm not sure what you mean by security.
