No, this binding in general describes converting of iio adc data into
thermal data, using device specific conversion table. Resulting
thermal data is exposed as thermal sensor cell for thermal zone
binding. What I did is that I just exposed thermal data as temp iio
channel (processed). Real use case: I own an embedded device which has
a dedicated sensor for battery temperature control, but to indicate
the temperature is used adc channel of that sensor and adc data is
converted using a device specific table into temperature. Basically
this fits existing generic-adc-thermal setup to create a thermal zone,
but along with all that, the fuel gauge which monitors battery can
accept iio temp channel to expose battery temperature. This is what I
am adding here.
