But for me that raise the question of having this stuff in the ADC driver at all. Most ADC just return a value from 0 to MAX and have no way to find out their supply voltage. If we start with binding to regulators in the drivers we'll soon get a lots of non-flexible and duplicated code. It would be a lot nicer if the ADC channels could be bound to a regulator and a transform function that compute a real world voltage out of: - The ADC value - The ADC range - The regulator representing the ADC reference voltage The simplest transform would be a linear curve with an optional offset, but any kind of transform would also be possible allowing to represent about any circuit that might be between the supply regulator and the ADC input.
