The PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) monitoring logic can be
constructed from many different sub-blocks:
*) CONTROLLER (mr75203) - controlling TS, PD and VM.
*) TS (mr74137) - for measuring temperature in ring.
*) PD (mr74139) - for measuring IO based transistors.
*) VM (mr74138) - for measuring voltage rails across the SoC.
*) Ring oscillators (mr76007/mr76008)
*) Pre-scalers (mr76006)

Besides mr75203 which is digital all other IPs are analog.
There is a single mr75203 and there can be several or none of the other
units.

The kernel driver is only for the controller (mr75203).
The series 5 or 6 is relevant for the TS (mr74137) and not for the
controller (mr75203).
Each of the analog units can have a different series number (for example
we use series 3 of the VM).

That is why I didn't change the compatible of mr75203, and instead added
a TS-series parameter.
