From 2e1ce20149ea3cd1cee95a07c51a5b8873c20463 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolin Chen Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2019 15:12:52 -0800 Subject: dt-bindings: hwmon: (ina3221) Add ti,single-shot property By default, ina3221, as a hardware monitor, continuously measures the inputs and generates corresponding data. However, for battery powered devices, this mode might be power consuming. This patch adds a "ti,single-shot" property to allow changing the default continuous mode to single-shot operating mode.
