Subject: [PATCH 0/2] New driver for ams AS5600 Position Sensor

This patch series adds support for the ams AS5600 Position Sensor.

The AS5600 is a Hall-based rotary magnetic position sensor using
planar sensors that convert the magnetic field component perpendicular
to the surface of the chip into a voltage, or a numerical value
available through i2c.

The driver registers the chip as an IIO_ANGL device.
It also exposes the raw registers through debugfs for further configuration.

This patch is based on the work done by Frank Zago:
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211225175353.4254-1-frank@zago.net/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211216202651.120172-1-frank@zago.net/

I have done the changes suggested by Jonathan Cameron in the follow-ups.

I picked this up because there has been no progress on this since 2021 and
Frank Zago has previously stated he isn't trying to upstream his drivers:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/e052d872-6de2-42f4-8b36-d1e2f8359624@zago.net/

Currently, I have not added support for:
- OUT (PWM)
- PGO (GPIO used for OTP)
- DIR (GPIO used for clockwise/anti-clockwise detection)

I have tested this on a Beaglebone Black with as5600 support compiled as a
kernel module (m) as well as in-kernel (y).

changes since Frank Zago's v2:
- direct register access in debugfs is now raw register access without any
  mappings as suggested by Jonathan Cameron
- added device tree support and bindings
- in as5600_probe(), reading ZPOS and MPOS should be a word not a byte
- removed "Read then write" behavior in as5600_reg_access_write() since
  register access is now raw, reading and manipulating the correct bits and
  writing is now the duty of userspace.
- changed "Datasheet" links to the product page instead of the direct PDF
  since the PDF links are not stable
