Some Allwinner SoCs like A13, A20 or T2 are equipped with two-channel
low rate (6 bit) ADC that is often used for extra keys. There's a driver
for that already implementing standard input device, but it has these
limitations: 1) it cannot be used for general ADC data equisition, and
2) it uses only one LRADC channel of two available.
This driver provides basic hwmon interface to both channels of LRADC on
such Allwinner SoCs.

How do you plan on enforcing that?
I guess a better path forward would be to either register an hwmon
device in the original driver, or convert that driver to iio and use
iio-hwmon.
I think this driver should be use IIO, and then try to probe an IIO input
if possible.
It's been a while, but if I remember well we couldn't use IIO for that
driver because it's not generating interrupts all the time but only when
it goes over a given threshold:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/52C5E9F1.9010700@xxxxxxxxxx/
I'm not sure if it's still relevant, so we might just need to add an
hwmon driver to the existing driver
So now we have conflicting claims that the hwmon driver would need
to implement continuous interrupts because the chip otherwise doesn't
continuously measure ADC input, and that implementing an IIO driver
isn't possible or doesn't make sense because the chip would not support
generating continuous interrupts. Which one is it ? Am I missing something ?
