Gains are user controllable via the IIO_CHAN_INFO_HARDWAREGAIN. I also added
them as DT properties thinking that they could be pre-set depending on hardware
specifications: for instance by board design the monitored section is already
known to be in a particular voltage/current range (datasheet specifies
gains-ranges mapping at table 4-6 and table 4-7). Then, even if gains are
pre-set, the user can change them at runtime for instance by scaling them down
upon an overflow event. However, I can get rid of those gain properties if they
are out of the DT scope.

The driver does not currently handle the vdd regulator nor the gpio for the
!read/int pin. Should they be added to the DT schema anyway?

I think I can add the vdd regulator handling with little effort, my guess is
that the "vdd-supply" property can be optional and defined as "vdd-supply: true"
in the DT schema. Then the driver, if the vdd-supply property is present in the
DT, would enable the regulator during device initialization and PM resume, and
disable it on driver removal and PM suspend.

Reguarding the !read/int pin, the current driver overrides it with a register
bit so it would not be considered at all by the device.

Thanks, I will fix this in next patch version.
