    I couldn't find any modules that handled the temperature sensing on the torpedo som for 4.9.x mainline.   I see the older kernel used omap34xx_temp.c before.  Was this removed from mainline?

    Thanks,

    Go into the menuconfig (make menuconfig ARCH=arm)

    Device Drivers -> Generic Thermal sysfs driver -> Texas Instruments thermal drivers

    You'll need to enable Texas Instruments OMAP3 thermal support. It's disabled by default. TI doesn't recommend using them and the comments in the menuconfig indicate they are not accurate nor close to important hotspots on the OMAP3 family.
