That would be preferred over a separat driver, right? > I think the ltc2485 is close enough. It's even listed in the datasheet as a related part. The main difference seems to be the resolution of the ADC and the extra temperature sensor channel. Although one thing to consider is that their control/mode register is quite different. But the current driver doesn't write it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
