The AD5110/AD5112/AD5114 provide a nonvolatile solution
for 128-/64-/32-position adjustment applications, offering
guaranteed low resistor tolerance errors of ±8% and up to
±6 mA current density.

Thanks for the patch. This looks really good!

This returns the number of bytes written, which can be less then the number of bytes requested if there was an error. This should check if the right amount of bytes was written and return -EIO otherwise. Same for the other places that read/write from I2C.

This is not wrong, but it can be implemented a bit simpler. The tolerance is encoded as a fixed point number, you don't have to treat them as two independent fields, but can treat it as one fixed point number.

    data->tol = data->cfg->kohms * (val & GENMASK(6, 0)) * 1000 / 100 / 8;

Maybe apply shift to get consistent behavior with `raw`.

Doesn't val have to be inverted to get the right behavior?
