Subject: [PATCH 2/3] dt-bindings: iio: wrapper: add io-channel-unit-converter

Allow linear scaling and modification of the type of an io-channel.

When an ADC channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
of the divider. Likewise, measuring the voltage over a resistor is
often a way to get to the current through it.

This binding allows description of such hardware which is external
to the ADC.

+I/O channel unit converter bindings

+Allow linear scaling and modification of the type of an io-channel.
+
+When an ADC channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
+interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
+of the divider. Likewise, measuring the voltage over a resistor is
+often a way to get to the current through it.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "io-channel-unit-converter"
+- io-channels : Channel node of the parent channel.
+- io-channel-names : Should be "parent".
+
+Optional properties:
+- numerator : The parent channel scale is multiplied by this value (default 1).
+- denominator : The parent channel scale is divided by this value (default 1).
+- type : The type of the wrapped channel is modified to this type. The default
+	 is to use the same type as the parent channel. Recognized types are:
+		"voltage"
+		"current"
+
+Example 1:
+The system voltage is circa 12V, but divided down with a 22/200
+voltage divider to adjust it to the ADC range.
+
+SYSV        ADC       GND
+  +          +         +
+  |  .-----. | .----.  |
+  '--| 200 |-+-| 22 |--'
+     '-----'   '----'
+
+sysv {
+	compatible = "io-channel-unit-converter";
+	io-channles = <&maxadc 1>;
+	io-channel-names = "parent";
+
+	/* multiply the ADC voltage by 222/22 to get the system voltage */
+	numerator = <222>; /* 200 + 22 */
+	denominator = <22>;
+}
+
+&spi {
+	maxadc: adc@0 {
+		compatible = "maxim,max1027";
+	      	reg = <0>;
+		#io-channel-cells = <1>;
+		interrupt-parent = <&gpio5>;
+		interrupts = <15 IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING>;
+		spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
+	};
+};
+
+Example 2:
+The system current is measured by measuring the voltage over a
+3.3 ohm resistor.
+
+sysi {
+	compatible = "io-channel-unit-converter";
+	io-channles = <&tiadc 0>;
+	io-channel-names = "parent";
+
+	/* divide the ADC voltage by 33/10 (i.e. 3.3) to get current */
+	numerator = <10>;
+	denominator = <33>;
+	type = "current";
+}
+
+&i2c {
+	tiadc: adc@48 {
+		compatible = "ti,ads1015";
+	      	reg = <0x48>;
+		#io-channel-cells = <1>;
+
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <0>;
+
+		channel@0 { /* IN0,IN1 differential */
+			reg = <0>;
+			ti,gain = <1>;
+			ti,datarate = <4>;
+		};
+	};
+};
