Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: hwmon: Introduce ADS71x8

Add documentation for the driver of ADS7128 and ADS7138 12-bit, 8-channel
analog-to-digital converters. These ADCs have a wide operating range and
a wide feature set. Communication is based on an I2C interface.
The driver provides the functionality of manually reading single channels
or sequentially reading all channels automatically.

If this is a "generic" adc, why is it going into hwmon?
I would have expected this to be in iio/adc, and use more typical adc
bindings, even if the driver is in hwmon.

Guenter/Jonathan wdyt?


Same thought here. While the chip supports limits, making it suitable for
hardware monitoring, its primary use seems to be as ADC, not as hardware
monitoring device. The hardware monitoring API isn't well suited for the
fast sample rate supported by this chip.
