IIO: ADC: New driver for AD7190/AD7192/AD7195 4 Channel SPI ADC
New driver for AD7190/AD7192/AD7195 4.8 kHz, Ultralow Noise, 24-Bit Sigma-Delta ADC with PGA These devices features a dual use data out ready DOUT/RDY output. In order to avoid contentions on the SPI bus, it's necessary to use spi bus locking. The DOUT/RDY output must also be wired to an interrupt capable GPIO. In INDIO_RING_TRIGGERED mode, this driver may block its SPI bus segment for an extended period of time. Changes since V1: Add missing documentation. Remove obsoleted include files. Fix typos and style issues. Fix buffer size. Split ad7192_show() into two functions. Avoid race condition add mutex. Abandon IIO_CHAN macro. Reorder elements in ad7192_platform_data. Remove driver bus type. Signed-off-by: Michael Hennerich <michael.hennerich@analog.com> Acked-by: Jonathan Cameron <jic23@cam.ac.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

+Description:
+ This attribute, if available, is used to close or open the
+ bridge power down switch found on some converters.
+ In bridge applications, such as strain gauges and load cells,
+ the bridge itself consumes the majority of the current in the
+ system. To minimize the current consumption of the system,
+ the bridge can be disconnected (when it is not being used
+ using the bridge_switch_en attribute.
