How to explain better that it isn't set at runtime?
Other drivers use the same term.

That's a problem.

In my case the ER-6P has a 8 milli Ohm (or 8000 micro Ohm) shunt and a powersupply with 
max. 2.5 A. This gives a max shunt voltage of 20 mV at 2.5 A.
The device normaly consumes between 200 and 500 mA. (typ ~250 mA).
This results in shunt voltage of 1.6 to 4.0 mV (typ ~2mV).
Having no fractions will make it useless. 

Unfortunately there is no possibility to give a scaling factor.
Or returning float values (i know, this can't and shouldn't be changed)

Due to limited time, left for later enhancement.

Hmm, 
channel 0: ISL28022_REG_SHUNT + 0 == 0x01
channel 1: ISL28022_REG_SHUNT + 1 == 0x02 == ISL28022_REG_BUS
or do i miss something?

From my understading (see table 11 on page 16 of the ISL28022 datasheet)
shunt value is already sign extended, (D15-D12 is sign)
bus value (table 12 on page 16) is unsigned.

o.k., will change to set *val = 0;

o.k., as above

Yes, i must first divide then multiply.
I have to think about how to keep accuracy on high shunt resistor values.

Shouldn't, but i'm carefully (i had it once during development due to an error
(using dev instead of hwmon_dev) on calling this function

o.k. will add.

o.k.

o.k.

o.k. Never used this, have to look for an example on using it.
Many (old) drivers are using the of_property_* functions, is it intended to replace it.
What about backporting this driver to e.g. 5.15, will it affect it?

Most drivers have this, why drop?
