You can think it's actually a sensor, but the thermal sensor include a
set of status register and four sets of control register in loongson-2k
series (2k1000 /2k2000), but the control register only select a group
register by set "SEL".

The 'SEL' was to select thermal control register set, that reading a
tempearure was to thermal status register set. thermal status register
set only one and no no other choice. The function of 'SEL' is actually
to select which temperature sensor collects the temperature as input.

Yes, the future 2k series product may still be a sensor, but the ID may
not be 0, it may be 1 or 2 or 3.

 From the current situation of the 2k series (2k1000/2k2000), it seems
that there will always be only one sensor, but 'SEL' can be used to
select which sensor. (0th, 1th, 2th, 3th).  If there are really special
circumstances in the future, add appropriate modifications at that time.

Yes,  but currently this code does not support the requirement for 
multiple sensors.

In fact, my code is more inclined to support one sensor, but it can
determine which sensor to use based on the ID. (id = 0, 1, 2, 3)

Sorry, there seems to be no English version available at the moment.


Thanks,
