+LT6106 36V High Side Current Sence Amplifier
+============================================
+
+This binding assumes the typical application of the current sense amplifier
+as described in the LT6106 datasheet.

+The voltage Vsense over Rsense is measured by looking at Vout. They
+are related as Vout = Vsense * Rout / Rin. The current Isense through
+Rsense is (almost) the same as that through the LOAD. Hence, the
+interesting LOAD current can be calculated as
+
+ Vout * Rin / (Rout * Rsense)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "adi,lt6106"
+- io-channels : Channel node of an io-channel measuring Vout.
+- sense-resistor-micro-ohms : The Rsense resistance in microohms.
+- input-resistor-ohms : The Rin resistance in ohms.
+- output-resistor-ohms : The Rout resistance in ohms.
+
+Example:
+
+sysi {
+ compatible = "adi,lt6106";
+ io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+ sense-resistor-micro-ohms = <20000>;
+ input-resistor-ohms = <200>;
+ output-resistor-ohms = <10000>;
