+Current Sense Amplifier
+=======================
+
+When an io-channel measures the output voltage from a current sense
+amplifier, the interesting measurement is almost always the current
+through the sense resistor, not the voltage output. This binding
+describes such a current sense circuit.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "current-sense-amplifier"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel.
+- sense-resistor-micro-ohms : The sense resistance in microohms.
+
+Optional properties:
+- sense-gain-mult: Amplifier gain multiplier. The default is <1>.
+- sense-gain-div: Amplifier gain divider. The default is <1>.
+
+Example:
+
+sysi {
+ compatible = "current-sense-amplifier";
+ io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+ sense-resistor-micro-ohms = <20000>;
+ sense-gain-mul = <50>;
+};

+Current Sense Shunt
+===================
+
+When an io-channel measures the voltage over a current sense shunt,
+the interesting measurement is almost always the current through the
+shunt, not the voltage over it. This binding describes such a current
+sense circuit.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "current-sense-shunt"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel.
+- shunt-resistor-micro-ohms : The shunt resistance in microohms.
+
+Example:
+The system current is measured by measuring the voltage over a
+3.3 ohms shunt resistor.
+
+sysi {
+ compatible = "current-sense-shunt";
+ io-channels = <&tiadc 0>;
+
+ /* Divide the voltage by 3300000/1000000 (or 3.3) for the current. */
+ shunt-resistor-micro-ohms = <3300000>;

+Voltage divider
+===============
+
+When an io-channel measures the midpoint of a voltage divider, the
+interesting voltage is often the voltage over the full resistance
+of the divider. This binding describes the voltage divider in such
+a curcuit.

+ .-----.
+ | R |
+ '-----'
+ |
+ +---- Vout
+ |
+ .-----.
+ | Rout|
+ '-----'

+ GND
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : "voltage-divider"
+- io-channels : Channel node of a voltage io-channel measuring Vout.
+- output-ohms : Resistance Rout over which the output voltage is measured.
+ See full-ohms.
+- full-ohms : Resistance R + Rout for the full divider. The io-channel
+ is scaled by the Rout / (R + Rout) quotient.
+
+Example:
+The system voltage is circa 12V, but divided down with a 22/222
+voltage divider (R = 200 Ohms, Rout = 22 Ohms) and fed to an ADC.
