[PATCH v7 0/2] iio: adc: add MAX40080 current-sense amplifier driver

From: Stefan Popa

Date: Tue Aug 18 2026 - 10:31:59 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 v6:
- Add types.h include (Andy).
- Remove dead code: i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data can't return partial
reads, so remove the ret != sizeof(buf) check (David).
- Remove dead code: iv variable initialization not needed as
max40080_read_iv always writes to *iv before returning (David).

Changes since v5:
- Fix datasheet URL format in binding -- use stable link without /en/
path component (Jonathan, Siratul).
- Use 'adi' compatible prefix instead of 'maxim' -- MAX40080 is an ADI
product (Conor).
- Split MAINTAINERS into binding and driver patches (Siratul).
- Add datasheet link in driver header comment (Siratul).
- Fix comment style: capital first letter + period (Siratul).
- Fix register defines: add register name prefix (CFG_, FIFO_CFG_, IV_)
and use designated initializers for csa_gain array (Jonathan).
- Define MAX40080_ADC_RES_BITS and use BIT() for shift (Jonathan).
- Use lowercase 'mV' in defines (Siratul).
- Use C99 loop variable declarations (Siratul).
- Remove braces from single-statement if blocks (Siratul).
- Declaration and initialization in same statement (Siratul).
- Use IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_LOG2 for voltage scale (Jonathan).
- Remove unused i2c_set_clientdata call (Jonathan).
- Use defines instead of magic numbers for range default (Jonathan).

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.
