[PATCH 0/2] iio: adc: Add a current from voltage driver

From: Jonathan Bakker
Date: Fri May 15 2020 - 22:27:10 EST


In the discussion around adding the GP2A002 light driver, there came
up the question of what to do when a system emulates a current ADC
by using a voltage ADC and a resistor. Rather than adding it on
a per-driver basis, it was suggested(1) to add a minimal IIO driver
to support this situation.

The new driver is fairly simple - it simply takes a voltage ADC and
a resistor value in ohms exposed as the scale and outputs a current.

It has been tested on a first-gen Galaxy S device which has the above
mentioned GP2A002 chip connected to the voltage ADC resistor complex.
