[RFC 0/4] IIO: add support for INA2xx power monitor

[Marc Titinger]

This chip has fair support in the hwmon stack already, this work is more
as a pathfinder for me, hence I post it as RFC to digg some more into 'does
and donts' with IIO.

Nevertheless, it provides a working streaming scheme for capturing
power/voltage/current with this chip. It works in local and remote
mode with iio_readdev and I did some sniffing tests with iio-oscilloscope
with promising results inspite of timeout issues for long temporal buffers
presumably due to the slow rates for this chip compared to expected high-speed
CoDecs (and maybe the lack of a proper plugin?).

The kthread I'm using does an active waiting to allow for sampling periods
shorter than a tick. I have not experienced performance issues with it on
the board (BeagleBoneBlack), IIOD could always schedule on time as far as I
could see, maybe with other i2c backends a schedule() could be mandatory ?

Many thanks,

Marc Titinger (4):
  iio: ina2xx: add direct IO support for TI INA2xx Power Monitors
  iio: ina2xx: add SAMP_FREQ attribute.
  iio: ina2xx: add debugfs reg access
  iio: ina2xx: add SOFTWARE buffer mode using an iio kfifo.
