This patch will no longer apply after the series at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hwmon/20240830010554.1462861-1-linux@roeck-us.net/T/#t
is accepted and applied. It is also less than perfect since it does not 
support current limits. Adjusting the driver to support ina260 should be
much more straightforward after the above patches are applied. I'll send a
follow-up series of patches after I was able to test it with a real chip
(I am currently waiting for an evaluation board to arrive).

In case anyone is curious, the (untested) patches necessary to support
INA260 are available in the hwmon-staging and testing branches of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging.git
