Re: [PATCH v6 2/2] dt-bindings: hwmon: (adt7475) Added missing adt7475 documentation

[Logan Shaw]

Just a gentle reminder as this thread has been quiet for a while. Rob,
I would appreciate some feedback on my question from my previous email. 

To add a little more detail: I want to avoid simply checking for the
existence of a property in the DTS as that could break compatibility
with codebases implementing their own method of handling the attenuator
bypass.
