Some devices may require a current adc, but only have a voltage
ADC onboard.  In order to read the current, they have a resistor
connected to the ADC.  Add bindings for this possibility.

How is an ADC with a resistor attached a Linux thing? So you don't need 
'linux', but then 'current-from-voltage' isn't the best naming. I don't 
have a suggestion ATM.

Wouldn't you need this to be micro-ohms? Otherwise, there'd be too much 
voltage drop?

The good/bad news is that I was re-implementing an existing driver under a new name :)

The compatible is current-sense-shunt for this exact same purpose.

Thanks,
Jonathan
