Which raises another open question.  Why IIO rather than hwmon like the ina2xx?

cc'd Guenter and hwmon list.

I don't typically have strong opinions on this but best to make sure everyone
is happy.  Always best to layout your thinking on this in the cover letter.

I'll raise it there as well but came to mind when seeing the ina2xx reference
here.

Whether we are better going for the existing binding without units, or
'fixing' that is a question for the device tree maintainers.  I guess that
one snuck through.
