[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: iio: afe: add current-sense-cuicuit and voltage-divider

[Peter Rosin]

An ADC is often used to measure other quantities indirectly. These
bindings describe two cases, a current through a sense resistor, and
a "big" voltage measured with the help of a voltage divider.

+Current Sense Curcuit
+=====================
+
+When an io-channel measures the voltage over a current sense resistor,
+the interesting mesaurement is often the current through the resistor,
+not the voltage over it. This binding describes such a current sense
+curcuit.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "current-sense-circuit"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel.
+
+Optional properties:
+- numerator : The io-channel scale is multiplied by this value (default 1).
+- denominator : The io-channel scale is divided by this value (default 1).
+
+Example:
+The system current is measured by measuring the voltage over a
+3.3 ohms sense resistor.
+
+sysi {
+	compatible = "current-sense-circuit";
+	io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+	/* Divide the ADC voltage by 33/10 (i.e. 3.3) to get the current. */
+	numerator = <10>;
+	denominator = <33>;
+};
+
+&i2c {
+	tiadc: adc@48 {
+		compatible = "ti,ads1015";
+	      	reg = <0x48>;
+		#io-channel-cells = <1>;
+
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		channel@0 { /* IN0,IN1 differential */
+			reg = <0>;
+			ti,gain = <1>;
+			ti,datarate = <4>;
+		};
+	};
+};

+Voltage divider
+===============
+
+When an io-channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
+interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
+of the divider. This binding describes the voltage divider in such
+a curcuit.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "voltage-divider"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel.
+
+Optional properties:
+- numerator : The io-channel scale is multiplied by this value (default 1).
+- denominator : The io-channel scale is divided by this value (default 1).
+
+Example:
+The system voltage is circa 12V, but divided down with a 22/200
+voltage divider to adjust it to the ADC range.
