Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for the review and guidance.

The LTC2495 offers a more advanced feature set compared to the LTC2497,
including:

- Adjustable input gain
- A selectable 50Hz/60Hz lowpass filter to reject line frequency noise
- Selectable speed modes
- An internal temperature sensor

All of these features are configured via a second I2C command byte
(listed in Table 4 of:
https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/2495fe.pdf),
which changes the driver's communication protocol compared to the
single-byte commands of the LTC2497.

This patch series begins to support reading the internal temperature
sensor by implementing driver logic for the two-byte I2C command format
and exposing the IIO temperature channel. Therefore, I added a new
binding. Without the support for the temperature sensor and this
different command structure, a simple fallback would be sufficient.

Let me know if you agree with the reasoning to add the binding. If so, I
will update the commit messages in v2 to include this justification and
ensure they follow the imperative mood convention.

Best regards,

Alper
