[PATCH v4 1/4] dt-bindings: iio: afe: add binding for current-sense-shunt

[Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se>]

An ADC is often used to measure other quantities indirectly. This
binding describe one cases, a current through a shunt resistor
measured by the voltage over it.

+Current Sense Shunt
+===================
+
+When an io-channel measures the voltage over a current sense shunt,
+the interesting mesaurement is almost always the current through the
+shunt, not the voltage over it. This binding describes such a current
+sense circuit.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "current-sense-shunt"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel.
+- shunt-resistor-micro-ohms : The shunt resistance in microohms.
+
+Example:
+The system current is measured by measuring the voltage over a
+3.3 ohms shunt resistor.
+
+sysi {
+	compatible = "current-sense-shunt";
+	io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+	/* Divide the voltage by 3300000/1000000 (or 3.3) for the current. */
+	shunt-resistor-micro-ohms = <3300000>;
+};
+
+&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>;
+		};
+	};
+};
