The Altera Arria10 Devkit System Resource chip is a Multi-Function
Device, it has two subdevices:
- GPIO
- HWMON
This patch adds documentation for the Altera A10-SR DT bindings.

Device type only please.
I need to revisit where this will live (hwmon does not seem to be
the correct place) so it will change but I can follow the format
above if it is correct.
BTW, "hwmon" is a subsystem in Linux, therefore is a Linuxism and is
not allowed in DT. What does the device *actually* do?
OK. I'll be careful not to introduce the Linux subsystem name.
This module indicates whether the power supplies are at the correct
voltage. It uses a boolean instead of giving an actual voltage value as
required by HWMON. In other words it is a comparator instead of an
Analog-to-Digital Converter.
I could call it a power supply supervisor or voltage status monitor but
it only acts in a passive role. There is no output to trigger an error -
only polling, so supervisor doesn't seem like a good name.
Maybe something like this?
power_supply_status {
compatible = "altr,a10sr-hwmon";
}
Thanks for reviewing and helping me figure out the device tree naming.
