Add support for the following parts:
* LTC2984
* LTC2986
* LTM2985

The LTC2984 is a variant of the LTC2983 with EEPROM.
The LTC2986 is a variant of the LTC2983 with only 10 channels,
EEPROM and support for active analog temperature sensors.
The LTM2985 is software-compatible with the LTC2986.

There is already a property for thermocouple. Isn't a thermocouple a

This node is needed for active analog temperature sensors.
It has fewer options than the thermocouple, as it only supports
a table to map from voltage to temperature and specifying whether
the measurement is differential or single-ended.

If you did as much as glimpsed at the datasheet you would have
understood.

Drop "Boolean property which sets" - it's obvious from the type.


That's how the rest of the file is written.

The chip uses mv-K, but the binding specifies nv-uK, the driver

There is no table 71 in the bindings... It seems you pasted it from
somewhere.


It's pretty obvious that "Table" in a binding refers to the datasheet.
But if you meant datasheet, not binding, you're looking at the wrong
datasheet then.
Also, that's how the rest of the file is written.

What do you mean? "Maintain" as allow or keep when building FDT? What's
the problem of using negative numbers here and why it should be part of
bindings?


You're really clueless, I'll let you figure it out on your own.

Instead describe the items with "description" (and maybe constraints)
like here:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.19/source/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/st,stm32-adc.yaml#L278


That's how the rest of the file is written.
If you really want to use something different, you can submit a
patch later and fix the whole binding however you want.
