An ADC is often used to measure other quantities indirectly. This
binding describe one cases, a current through a shunt resistor
measured by the voltage over it.

+Current Sense Shunt
+===================
+
+When an io-channel measures the voltage over a current sense shunt,
+the interesting mesaurement is almost always the current through the
+shunt, not the voltage over it. This binding describes such a current
+sense circuit.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "current-sense-shunt"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel.
+- shunt-resistor-micro-ohms : The shunt resistance in microohms.
+
+Example:
+The system current is measured by measuring the voltage over a
+3.3 ohms shunt resistor.
+
+sysi {
+ compatible = "current-sense-shunt";
+ io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+ /* Divide the voltage by 3300000/1000000 (or 3.3) for the current. */
+ shunt-resistor-micro-ohms = <3300000>;
+};
+
+&i2c {
+ tiadc: adc@48 {
+ compatible = "ti,ads1015";
+ reg = <0x48>;
+ #io-channel-cells = <1>;
+
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ channel@0 { /* IN0,IN1 differential */
+ reg = <0>;
+ ti,gain = <1>;
+ ti,datarate = <4>;
+ };
+ };
+};
