Re: [PATCH v3 2/2] iio: adc: Add TI ADS1100 and ADS1000

Comments below. Mailserver has a top-post fetish and will inject a 
signature here somewhere...

No further comment from me means "agree, will implement in v4"...

As discussed with  Jonathan Cameron, the register is right-justified and 
the number of bits depend on the data rate. Rather than having the 
"scale" change when the sample rate changes, we chose to adjust the 
sample result so it's always left-justified.

I'll try to explain it better.

Could put MILLI here, but I doubt if that improves things. Its actually 
MICRO/(MICRO/MILLI) given the explanation above... Not helping much...

Thought of it, but I'd rather have it return EINVAL for attempting to 
set the analog gain to "7" (0nly 1,2,4,8 allowed).

Spent too much time with other coding guidelines, missed this one... 
Will change.

Should I write:

regulator_get_voltage(data->reg_vdd) / (MICROS / MILLIS);

I doubt that improves readability.

Don't understand your remark, can you explain further please?

devm / non-devm ordering would be related to the "probe" function. As 
far as I can tell, I'm not allocating resources after the devm calls. 
And the "remove" is empty.
