Whatever happened to this patch though? It didn't make it to mainline,
otherwise I'd have found it sooner...
I'll have to look it up, but I guess I didn't get an updated version.
As far as I remember I had a working V3 of this patch, but it is entirely
possible that it was never submitted as I have been busy with other projects
recently. I'll dig it out and check that it is complete.
FWIW, I don't see it at
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-hwmon/list/?submitter=171225&state=*
Maybe you were waiting for a reply from Rob. Either case, it might make
sense to only provide valid modes, ie to abstract the mode bits from the
hardware, such as
0 - internal temp only
1 - Tr1
2 - V1
3 - V1-V2
4 - Tr2
5 - V3
6 - V3-V4
7 to 14 - per bit 0..2

You are right, there was still an open question about how best to handle the
mode selection in DT.
In the latest version of my patch I have it implemented as an array for
setting the two values, for example:
lltc,meas-mode = <7 3>;
This sets bits [2..0] = 7 and [4..3] = 3. Of course these could be split into
two DT properties, but I was unsure what to name them as both fields are
called "mode" in the datasheet and "mode-43"/"mode-20" (or similar) is ugly.
With regards to your proposal, it is not clear to me whether the modes which
have the same result are exactly equivalent. Does disabling a measurement with
the mode[4..3] bits really leaves the part in a safe state for all possible HW
connections? With this doubt in my head, I would prefer to keep the option
available to the user to select any specific mode. But I am open to suggestions.
Mike, if you would like to test it, the latest version of my code is here:
https://github.com/levens/ltc2990/blob/dev/drivers/hwmon/ltc2990.c
I pulled your patches, added two lines to the devicetree and it works fine,
I'm seeing plausible results:

hwmon2/uevent:OF_COMPATIBLE_N=1
As you can see, two ltc2990 on two busses, one measuring current and one
measuring 4 independent voltages.
I also like your implementation of the mode setting better, it's much simpler
than mine. And you've solved a bug in the temperature reading as well.
Kind regards,
