The idea is that you would implement an IIO ADC driver (drivers/iio/adc has lots
of examples). The IIO to HWMON bridge already exists (drivers/hwmon/iio_hwmon.c
in linux-next or drivers/staging/iio/iio_hwmon.c in mainline). Setting it up
would then then a matter of platform data or device tree data.
