Thank you very much for your review comments, I'll update the driver and

This adds support for the Linear Technology LTC2990 I2C System Monitor.

The LTC2990 supports a combination of voltage, current and temperature
monitoring, but this driver currently only supports reading two currents
by measuring two differential voltages across series resistors.
Plus VCC, plus the internal temperature.
Yeah, I should give myself more credit :) I'll add that in Kconfig too.
This is sufficient to support the Topic Miami SOM which uses this chip
to monitor the currents flowing into the FPGA and the CPU parts.

Please consider using continuous conversion. This would simplify the
code significantly
and reduce read delays.
It might increase power consumption though, as typically some user program
would poll this every 10 seconds or so. I'll check the data sheet.
I suspect that the power savings will be less than the added power
consumed by the CPU due to the more complex code.
Really, unless you have an application where a few mW power savings
are essential and warrant the additional code complexity, this is
the wrong approach.
Yeah, you're right, checked the datasheet and it reports a 1mA typical power
usage when converting. Not worth the trouble.
Continuous conversion made the driver a LOT simpler, could even completely
drop the private data structure.
I sent v2 already, but just noticed that some of the #includes were no longer
needed, so I'll send a v3 to fix that.
