+LT6106 36V High Side Current Sence Amplifier
+============================================
+
+This binding assumes the typical application of the current sense amplifier
+as described in the LT6106 datasheet.

+The voltage Vsense over Rsense is measured by looking at Vout. They
+are related as Vout = Vsense * Rout / Rin. The current Isense through
+Rsense is (almost) the same as that through the LOAD. Hence, the
+interesting LOAD current can be calculated as
+
+                 Vout * Rin / (Rout * Rsense)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "adi,lt6106"
+- io-channels : Channel node of an io-channel measuring Vout.
+- sense-resistor-micro-ohms : The Rsense resistance in microohms.
+- input-resistor-ohms : The Rin resistance in ohms.
+- output-resistor-ohms : The Rout resistance in ohms.
+
+Example:
+
+sysi {
+	compatible = "adi,lt6106";
+	io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+	sense-resistor-micro-ohms = <20000>;
+	input-resistor-ohms = <200>;
+	output-resistor-ohms = <10000>;
+};
