Is there a patch someplace that implements that proposed DT binding? I
couldn't find anything.

*shrug* both styles of definition seem to be used in various device
tree bindings.

The downside with Mahoda's proposal is that it only covers 3 of the 8
configuration bits, and will require alot of code for parsing. It
seems really clunky, and why is a regulator involved to set the A/D
sensitivity? Weird.

But I only need has-temp3, so if a patch appears please cc me and I'll
review it here..
