[PATCH v6 0/2] iio: adc: add MAX40080 current-sense amplifier driver

From: Stefan Popa

Date: Thu Jul 30 2026 - 09:27:13 EST


This series adds support for the MAX40080, a bidirectional current-sense
amplifier with an integrated 12-bit ADC.

The driver is placed in IIO rather than hwmon because:
- IIO's scale/raw model naturally exposes the selectable gain ranges and
lets userspace apply the correct scale per range.
- Buffered capture support is planned for a follow-up series -- each
conversion returns a matched current+voltage pair, which maps cleanly
to IIO's buffered/triggered model.

Changes since v5:
- Add register prefixes (MAX40080_CFG_MODE_MSK, etc.) for clarity
(Jonathan).
- Define MAX40080_CFG_RANGE_50MV/10MV with designated initializers
(Jonathan, Guenter).
- Use MAX40080_ADC_RES_BITS (12) instead of 4096 (Jonathan).
- Use IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_LOG2 for voltage scale (Jonathan).
- Return i2c_smbus_write_word_data() directly at end of max40080_init()
(Jonathan).
- Hold lock in write_raw for proper cache protection; local range copy
in read_raw prevents torn reads (Jonathan, Nuno, Sashiko).
- Add comment explaining intentional *iv = tmp before error check
(Siratul).
- Blank line consistency fixes in read_raw switch cases and
max40080_init() (Siratul).
- Use adi,max40080 compatible prefix (David).
- Add vdd-supply and interrupts properties to binding (David).

Changes since v4:
- Initialize tmp = 0 in max40080_read_iv() before read_poll_timeout to
avoid using potentially uninitialized value in the condition check
(Sashiko, Jonathan).
- Simplify max40080_get_oversampling_ratio() to use cached value instead
of reading from the device (Jonathan).
- Remove DMA-safe buffer from struct -- I2C layer already bounces data
internally for i2c_smbus_* calls (Jonathan).
- Make shunt-resistor-micro-ohms required in DT binding. The default
1 Ohm was arbitrary and rarely correct for real hardware (Jonathan).
- Remove PM ops entirely. Having only resume without suspend was flagged
as "papering over" possible power loss issues (Jonathan).
- Remove the {} scope around propname, declare it at function top (Andy).
- Remove mod_devicetable.h include -- i2c.h provides necessary types
(Jonathan).

Changes since v3:
- Removed all regmap usage -- regmap doesn't support SMBus PEC or Quick
Command, both required by this device (Nuno).
- Fixed locking: max40080_update_bits() now takes the lock internally,
and callers update cached state after the call returns (Nuno).
- Consistent comment style: capital first letter + period (Andy).
- Use propname variable to deduplicate "shunt-resistor-micro-ohms" (Andy).
- Return IIO_VAL_* inline instead of break + return pattern (Nuno).

Changes since v2:
- Added shunt-resistor-micro-ohms DT property with default value.
- Use single-shot mode with SMBus Quick Command trigger for correlated
current/voltage reads.
- Precompute current scale per range at probe time.
