[PATCH v2 2/8] dt-bindings: iio: dac: maxim,ds4424: add maxim,rfs-ohms property
From: Oleksij Rempel
Date: Tue Jan 27 2026 - 01:11:53 EST
The Maxim DS4422/DS4424 and DS4402/DS4404 current DACs determine their
full-scale output current via external resistors (Rfs) connected to the
FSx pins. Without knowing these values, the full-scale range of the
hardware is undefined.
Add the 'maxim,rfs-ohms' property to describe these physical components.
This property is required to provide a complete description of the
hardware configuration.

changes v2:
- make maxim,rfs-ohms a required property as the hardware range is undefined
without external resistors.
- add allOf constraints to enforce 2 vs 4 items in maxim,rfs-ohms based on
compatible string.
- drop explicit $ref for maxim,rfs-ohms to fix dt_binding_check warning.
- update example in binding to include the new required property.
