Re: MAX1363 IIO driver questions

Good point. New use case for us so suggestions on how to do the association cleanly would be most welcome. Is there anything similar out there? We could add a per iio device sysfs interface to add additional mappings but it is a little uggly...

Hi Jonathan,

In other words, I can not test it on a PC unless I write a driver to
instantiate it. Not too helpful :(. It means that iio drivers can not
be used / instantiated for hardware monitoring on PCs.
