Subject: [PATCH v4 2/4] dt-bindings: iio: afe: add binding for voltage-divider

An ADC is often used to measure other quantities indirectly. This
binding describe one cases, a "big" voltage measured with the help
of a voltage divider.

+Voltage divider
+===============
+
+When an io-channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
+interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
+of the divider. This binding describes the voltage divider in such
+a curcuit.
+
+    Vin ----.
+            |
+         .-----.
+         |  R  |
+         '-----'
+            |
+            +---- Vout

+         | Rout|
+         '-----'
+            |
+           GND
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "voltage-divider"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel measuring Vout.
+- output-ohms : Resistance Rout over which the output voltage is measured.
+	        See full-ohms.
+- full-ohms : Resistance R + Rout for the full divider. The io-channel
+	      is scaled by the Rout / (R + Rout) quotient.
+
+Example:
+The system voltage is circa 12V, but divided down with a 22/222
+voltage divider (R = 200 Ohms, Rout = 22 Ohms) and fed to an ADC.
+
+sysv {
+	compatible = "voltage-divider";
+	io-channels = <&maxadc 1>;
+
+	/* Scale the system voltage by 22/222 to fit the ADC range. */
+	output-ohms = <22>;
+	full-ohms = <222>; /* 200 + 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>;
+	};
+};
