[v4,0/2] iio: adc: add Nuvoton NCT7201 ADC driver

Message

Change since version 4:
 - Fix comments
 - Add interrupts and reset-gpios to the DT example
 - Use the FIELD_PREP and FIELD_GET
 - Add use_single_write in regmap_config
 - Use regmap_access_table

Change since version 3:
 - Fix comments
 - Don't put nct720"x" in the name, just call it nct7201
 - Remove differential inputs until conversions are finished
 - Add NCT7201_ prefix in all macros and avoid the tables
 - Correct event threshold values in raw units
 - Add with and without interrupt callback function to have the event
   config part and one that doesn't
 - Remove print an error message if regmap_wirte failed case

Change since version 2:
 - Remvoe read-vin-data-size property, default use read word vin data
 - Use regmap instead of i2c smbus API
 - IIO should be IIO_CHAN_INFO_RAW and _SCALE not _PROCESSED
 - Use dev_xxx_probe in probe function and dev_xxx in other functions
 - Use devm_iio_device_register replace of iio_device_register
 - Use guard(mutex) replace of mutex_lock
 - Use get_unaligned_le16 conversion API

Changes since version 1:
 - Add new property in iio:adc binding document
 - Add new driver for Nuvoton NCT720x driver

Eason Yang (2):
  dt-bindings: iio: adc: add NCT7201 ADCs
  iio: adc: add support for Nuvoton NCT7201

Hi Eason,

Not sure if I asked this before, but this is a device that seems
to be typically used for hardware monitoring and there are a number
of similar sounding device in drivers/hwmon/  

That raises a couple of questions:
1) Is it compatible with any of those existing drivers?
2) Why IIO rather than HWMON?

There isn't normally a problem with having a hardware monitoring
related device supported by IIO, it is just good to know if your
usecase makes that a good idea.  We have the iio-hwmon bridge
driver to solve the problem of a device than can be used either
as a generic ADC or as a hwmon type monitoring device (which tends
to have more alarms etc)
