Texas Instruments INA3221 is a triple-channel shunt and bus
voltage monitor. This patch adds a DT binding doc for it.

+ina3221 properties
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: Must be "ti,ina3221"
+- reg: I2C address
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- ti,channel1-name:
+- ti,channel2-name:
+- ti,channel3-name:
+	The names of the input sources (described in the schematics)
+	Set the names with "NC" to indicate not-connected channels
+

I don't really think this is a good idea - first to specify sensor
names this way, and much less specifying that "NC" means that a sensor
shall be disconnected/disabled.

Also, if we define devicetree support for this chip, it should include
all configuration options required to configure it. This should at
the very least include shunt resistor values.

Thanks,
Guenter

+Example:
+
+ina3221@40 {
+	compatible = "ti,ina3221";
+	reg = <0x40>;
+	ti,channel1-name = "NC";
+	ti,channel2-name = "VDD_5V0_EXT";
+	ti,channel3-name = "VDD_19V";
+};
